DEC MMJ -> DB9 serial ?
Hi all,
I've just acquired a VT420 and would like to use it
with both a PC64-275 Cabriolet and PC164lx running
Debian 2.2... I've always used a VGA console
previously and would like to remove the VGA adapters
from both machines.
I have a couple DEC MMJ -> DB9F adapters which can be
custom configured.
After searching online, I found three different
configurations possible for this adapter but do not
know which to use! I could try all three, but would
rather not have to do any rework on these adapters.
1. Which wiring configuration has anyone used with
success on a PC64-275 and/or PC164lx to see SRM at the
very least ;-) ?
2. I'm assuming that the VT must be set to 8/1/none
to work correctly.
3. What /etc/inittab entry must I use to get a login
prompt?
If anyone has had success with a VT on these Alpha
boards, any recommendations would be greatly
appreciated!
Thanks,
Rob Parnell
