3BNC Monitor + HIL Keyboard
Hi, all
I recently bought a PA-RISC 1.1 Apollo 9000/735 workstation
from UMich dispo. I couldn't pass up on the low low price ;-). However, I'm stuck in Graphics mode because I do not have access to the 3BNC Monitor or a HIL keyboard to get access to the PROM.
If anyone is in the UMich-Ann Arbor area and wants to help me
set this thing into serial console mode, I'd appreciate it. I've contacted CAEN and am awaiting response. Email me privately to negotiate a time and neutral location on campus.

pulling the framebuffer out of the sgc-slot should result in console on the first serial-port.

Dude, I read through the service manual and did *not* see that tip anywhere. I tried the usual Sun style keyboardless-serial console technique, which failed. This, however, worked on the first try.
If you're ever in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area and you'd like someone to buy you a pint, let me know.
