Totally agree. A skill with some value is knowing how to make this conversion. Learn the front panel codes to be familiar with them and how to view, change, and restart the console.

The only thing to learn about twinax is the stuff makes wonderful speaker wire. It's balanced, color coded, shielded, and armored. And in a ping a couple loops will pull a car out of a ditch. Done that.

My own first choice? Change the terminal type from twinax to either
operations console or lan console. Lan console if that old model supports
it would be my first choice.
Why? Well, you got an old system to play with the hardware. Twinax is
dead knowledge. Lan console is something you can take to market.
Which one will help feed your children?
