I was recently donated a 5000/25.  It has not Keyboard or screen. The
screen isn't a problem but the keyboard is.  I don't want to buy a new
one.  We have several keyboards/mice from 5000/240s but they have different
connectors.

Another possiblity was to use a serial console but forcing it's use is
awkward.  To do this on a 3100 one simply removes the VRAM or on a 5000/240
the Frame buffer card.  What do I do for the 5000/25 ?

Thanks.
