I recently rescued a 9406-170 from the surplus warehouse here at the university. Being a PC tech I really didn't know what I had or needed. To be quite honest I still don't. Here is a list of the cards installed. Tower 1 2838 2720 2740 285A 2850-011 no ram 2839 with 3 pieces of memory 4x 27H1710 Hard drives 4/8 GB tape drive (looks like CD-rom may have been looted/if it ever had one) Tower 2 2729 2838 2721 2809 1x 27H1710 hard drive 1 44H7480 cable 1 twinax 4 position tap with 1 20' twinax cable 2 power cables That is all I have. No console, tapes, manuals, cables for 2850-011 or anything else. Where should I start? I have gleaned as mush as I can from the archives and other websites. I'm pretty sure that I need to get some sort of console setup. I'm also pretty sure that the 44H7480 cable that I have is for a modem not a console. Could I use some sort of terminal emulation? A homemade 9/9 pin cable? I need some sort of near $0 solution just to see if the thing is functional. Also is there a way to tell which processor is in it without a console?
