I have a HIL mouse and kb with it. This model doesn't have ps/2 ports so I can't change the kb. I can put a serial mouse on it. But I have no idea what it had attached to it before. I am assuming it was HIL kb and mouse but I can't be sure. We got a batch of HP workstations donated to the school from a local company. Many are in use in a lab, being used as X terminals logged into Sun servers. But the actual classroom lab now has mostly all Suns so the HPs aren't used much. I am also not sure of the state of the hard drives. There are (2) 9g scsi IIRC. I don't know if HP-UX is even still on there or anything. But you would think it would at least come up with a prompt of some sort even if HP-UX was wiped. This machine doesn't have any add-on cards, no floppy or internal CD or anything. I do have an external 2x scsi cd I can use with it but I haven't hooked it up yet. With your problem did the screen stay blank? I will try with the serial mouse. Thanks for the suggestion.
