Congrats. You got one of the fastest VAXen ever made. (72MHz NVAX CPU)
Any options installed?

Hmmm. Port 3 is correct. My MV3100m95 does, as all desktop VAXen I have
seen, 9600 8n1. The m90 is the same machine with a slower clock speed.
The machine shold output some CPU type and PROM version info and then
somthing like this during self test:
73..72..71..
it counts down over several lines and stops at "3". ("2" is searching
for boot device, "1" bootstrap loaded, "0" control pased to bootstrap.)
Do you have a knowen to be good MMJ cable? Note that MMJ is RS423(?), a
differential voltage interface. So you need some shortenings in the
plug to connect it to RS232. Does the com port of your PeeCee work?
