Hi all, I've been totally unsuccesfull trying to convince my RS6k to use serial port as console ... Even without kbd and video card installed, CMOS reset and all, the mashine boots normaly sending output to the (inexistent) vga ... I'm using null-modem cable (tested!) and minicom with vt102 emulation. Minicom detects ONLINE 10 seconds from power-up and that's all :-((( ... almost forgot: 9600 8N1 right ? Thanks, Adrian
