Subject: Re: That televideo thing.....
First, I wanna thank all who have replied to my plea for help. (I don't
know how I get myself into these things!). Second, the consensus seems to
be that I have two birds here; the monitor seems to be in actuality
something else, a Televideo model 800. The cpu seems to be a Televideo
Model 806. At least that's what those with much more brains than I say
it is. I guess the big problem is that the monitor is looking for a
"server" to boot up from, and the cpu is trying to boot up period. Somehow
I gotta get the two connected together properly. While the monitor part
has an RS422 connector, the other end of the cable that's connected to it
is connected to the "User 1" port on the cpu. Now, the cpu has a "terminal"
port, but no cable connected to it, and none came with it. It looks to be a
25-pin RS232 connector. Say, do you suppose that I could hook up a dumb
televideo 950 or 925 terminal to that, and t'd fire up? Just a thought....
in the meantine, I guess the big question is, can this monitor and this
cpu be made to work together? (I haven't got a Televideo dumb terminal
anyway!) To those of you who responded to me via here, I'll keep ya'all
posted as to any developments in this saga, please keep feeding me info!
For those of you who sent me email on this, check your mailboxes!
(Whew, if I ever figure this one out, I'm gonna lay off pickin' up any
more machines for a while!) :)
