Decstation 5000/200

Decstation 5000/200

[Thomas Poindessous]

Hi,
I have one IBM Decstation 5000/200 (PowerServer). 
I have minicom it but nothing, no garbage, nada.

The little led behind are set like this.

.XXX..XX  (X light, . no light)

After two day of google, I still can't find what are errors code ?

Where can I find these errors code ?

BTW, is there a port for Mips Magnum R4000 (Big endian) ?

Thanks

Are you sure you are not on the wrong serial ? 
Do you have a Framebuffer and Keyboard attached ?

They are in the Decstation Hardware Reference Manual
delivered with the Decstation - I havent got them
handy right now but probably someone could copy
them to a digital form and put it into the 
Mips HOWTO.

Hmm - From memory: yes - But i dont think it'll work out of the box
as the have been a lot of kernel changes and nobody cared on the 
Mips Magnum Port.

     Why is it called "common sense" when nobody seems to have any?

First sorry for the wrong description.
It's a digital Decstation 5000/200.

I connect my laplink to serial port #3
The keyboard is unplugged, and I hav test with and without the framebuffer
and the scsi controller. This box has three set of ram but no hard drive,
is it a problem ?
