  OSF/1 which became Digital Unix which became Tru64. Will T64 run on
turbochannel?
  The DB15 male is the kbd/mouse connector. Uses an LK<2|4>01 keyboard
and the VSXXX-GA (or I think VSXXX-AA) mouse with a splitter dongle.
  Serial terminal works fine. On my 3000/300X, absence of kbd/mouse
defaults the system console to the serial port.
