Actually, the PDP11 in the DECSA box does have a console terminal port.
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.
