And the answer to that one: it looks like it is working. We can
do the install and all that, but as soon as ESS takes over, we
can no longer see anything ;-)
Turns out that like with the VAXserver boxes, ESS blindly switches
to port #0 for console. And on the VAXstations, this happens to
be the Keyboard port.
So.. heh. I'll have to find the pinouts of that port, and then
make a temp. serial console cable that way, just to see if ESS is
working on the VAXstation. But, all "sounds" were as expected,
so it works, at least to a certain point...
Cheers,
Fred
