Hello Vax experts! I just received a Vax Station II and I have several problems, and most likely more that I don't know about... First, this machine doesn't have any monitor or terminal. So this brings up two questions: Can I get a graphics monitor and keyboard for it? And if so, what is the part number? More information on this set up: The "card" for this is in slot "b" in the case. There are two 15 pin sockets on it, one male one female. Connected to the back of it there are two wires going to one of the plane -- one is a 20 pin ribbon cable, the other is a single wire that has a single pin going to a plane. Written on the card it says "50-16468-01-C1" and "QVSS PATCH PANEL". Any information you have on what this is, or what I can put on it would be greatly appreciated. Can I hook up a PC to be a dumb terminal to this? I think the other card is applicable here: Two dials, a switch, a 9 pin male connector and an LED readout. The switch has two positions: one is labeled as a cirle with a dot above it, the other has a circle with the dot in it -- the latter also has a circle with an equilateral triangle in it. One of the dials has three positions: one with an arrow pointing to the right, one with an outline of a face profile, one with a circle that has a "t" in it (there is also an arrow pointing allong the circle's circumference). The other dial has several positions and is labled "baud" -- each position is a baud rate. When the machine is powered up the LED says "A". There might also be a problem with the machine actually booting up. Since I have no interface with the machine, I don't know what it does... I have a tape (TK50) with unknown contents. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you, -dennis --- Dennis Gray, Jr. DGray@uh.edu "You askin' to become a pile of zeros?
