serial console on 735/99
hello!
forgot to mention, i don't have a HIL keyboard, so unplugging it is not an option. anybody know if it might have something to do with the vt100?
btw, any chance i could get my hands on an "normal" ethernet-adaptor for this machine? fddi-cards cost a fortune...
thanks in advance

It's possible that someone reset the speeds on the
serial port, or configured the system to use the secondary serial port as the console. In any event, I'd suggest removing the battery for a while, and then booting the system.. With no graphics adapter, it will default to ttya at 9600/8n1.

As I recall, the ethernet module for these are no longer
in the HP price book.. You might try contacting an used HP equipment reseller and see what they want for one.. Otherwise, the next best option is a FDDI<->ethernet hub/router..

I thought the 735 has ethernet built-in.
IIRC, it's an AUI and you need a MAU thingy to connect to 10BT.

It was possible to purchase the 735 with a FDDI port on
the back replacing the standard ethernet port. I have three such systems from an old CONVEX MP0 (`Merlin') cluster, circa 1995.

Worry is like a rocking chair: It gives you something to do,
but doesn't get you anywhere.
