No kidding. DEC FS had this hand-held terminal that was powered off
of a jack next to the DB-25. I've seen pictures but never seen one
in use. We always use to run a cable out to a real VT100. I have
also used a Palm Pilot with travel cable and VT100 app as a terminal
for monitoring this drive and for reconfiguring Cisco routers.
The only thing cooler than a serial port on a mass-storage device
is talking to it on a terminal that fits in your pocket!
