Hello everyone
I picked up this up a long time ago, and recently got it to the point it would power on, and seems to boot up.
I've connected my terminal to "Serial 1" and after waiting a long time, I see the AIX OS boot and stops at the login prompt, so I'm not able to see the specs.
I of course don't have the credentials to log in, and I've tried switching to "service" mode but do not get any output on the serial port at all to try and get any further.
My question is, how do I redirect the "post" to the serial1 port so I can actually boot off a floppy , etc ?
Another question is what MCA video cards are supported in this, that you can actually find these days?
I have a MCA - XGA2 video card, would that work to "post" the system? (I don't think AIX has drivers for it, so don't expect it work any further than that), but haven't tried it incase I end up foobaring something.
thanks for any info
Jonathan
