  Yes. Just remember that the VAX will treat the QVSS as the "console", so
you'll have to have a keyboard there as well. You won't be able to use the
serial port until you've got the operating system up and enabled logins.

  Also, if you expect to use the CPU serial port for file transfers, you
may be in for a disappointment - it's an unbuffered, interrupt-per-char-
acter port.
