It does has (left to right) 2 x 25 pin male D-types labelled S1 and S2 1 x funky contronics-style thingy labelled SCSI 2 SE 1 x BNC and 1 x AUI connector, on an expansion card. 4 x unused expansion slots 1 x 25 pin female D-type labelled P 1 x strange PS/2-sized 8-pin DIN labelled T 2 x PS/2 sockets labelled K and M I can guess what all of them except the 'T' do. Might this be a monitor connector? Or am I going to end up talking down the serialport to it?
The "T" is a "Tablet", according to: http://www1.ibmlink.ibm.com/cgi-bin/master?xh=NniKJBXlk8NSfe2USenGnN9332&request=salesmanual&parms=H%5F7012%2D380&xhi=salesmanual%5E&xfr=N Here's the user manual: http://www16.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/en_US/infocenter/base/hardware_docs/pdf/380544.pdfThere's nothing about the tablet (except where to find the connector) in the user manual, nor is there anything about using a monitor (I presume this is covered in the graphics adapter user manual or something).
It does mention serial terminal, though. The salesmanual claims it was equipped with a graphics adapter, but good luck finding one of those now ;-)
Maybe life with a bloody useless E15 graphics adapter in a PReP isn't so bad at all :-)
I still wish I could find a graphics card that was 1: supported by Linux/X without needing the onboard BIOS (only one I know of is the Voodoo3, which I accidentally have ;-) ) and 2: worked in the PCI slot of the PReP I have (the Voodoo3 fails this requirement :-( )
