Well, it turned out to be a DHW42-CA option according to the guide
I was able to put my hands on. The machine has two of these so I
should be able to hook up 8 additional terminals.
I also managed to get it booting and logging into it, turns out it
belonged to a VAX cluster as several messages are passed along the
screen.
First order of business was to become system and modify the auhorisations
so I could use a more easy to remember password.
Authorize did do the trick of course, but boy, it has been a long time
I used vms, must have been at least 10 years ago.
