I.e. the machine has a framebuffer but you have no cable?
You can use a Sun 13W3 to BNC cable if you only use the R G B BNC plugs.
The other 10 pins of a 13W3 connector are different used on Sun and IBM.

What is the problem? Null modem cable, start minicom(1), done.
AFAIK you need the diagnistics software or AIX to switch the machine to
serial console. I prefer to use cu(1) or tip(1) instead of minicom(1).
Less trouble with terminal emulation and more minimalistic. ;-)

Pull down the latch on the back and pull the entire machine out of the
cover. At least it works this way on my 250 and I think the 220 and 250
are very similar. Ahh, the lock on the front has to be in service
position.
