Does anybody known how to make a DEC BCC08 cable for connecting a VT
series terminal as the console (OPA0) of a VAXstation 2000 on the
printer port? What I need is the wiring scheme. All I known is that this
cable is supposed to be special in that it disables the workstation
monitor and reconfigures the printer port as OPA0 on power-up.

Help!
