If you remove the trim panel on the front of the box there is a DB25 connector there which is the PDP11's console port. Of course, there isn't much you can do with it if you don't have a system set up to load something into the DECSA - the only thing in ROM are the minimal diags and ODT. One useful purpose it does serve is in displaying real error messages from the loadable diagnositcs. - Nick Bush Sterling-Winthrop Research Institute Rensselaer, NY ARPA: SIT.BUSH@CU20B.COLUMBIA.EDU BITNET: SIT.BUSH@CU20B -------
