Don't know that cable number but I'll take a guess: Operations Console,
to make your PC the system console by a direct connection?

If so, can you change to Lan Console? Use a LAN connection instead?

Hi Rob,

that's right, that's an Operations Console cable (with a 9-pin serial and a
mini-Centronics-ish port):P

I could probably use LAN console too (i think that company's Sysop mentioned
it), but in case i mess up the network settings i'd like a connection that's
always there...i'm a sucker for serial connections ;)

The machine's located in my hobbyroom (it's for selfstudy only), so i'm sitting
close to it anyway ;)

Rene.
