The Question is: I have a DEC 3000 model 300X that I wish to run OpenVMS on. However I need to get a few cables for it and was trying to get the part numbers for them. I need cable to connect DA-15 connector on back of machine to keyboard and mouse. I need cable to connect 3w3 connector on back of machine to 3 BNC connectors on monitor. I cannot find part numbers for these cables in my documentation. I found a similar question in archive but am worried because answer seemed to imply that video, keyboard and mouse were connected on one cable. I do not believe this is the case for DEC 3000 models. I believe it was true for VAXstations. So I am understan dably worried about the part number given in that answer. Bradley Slavik The Answer is : The BC13M-10 is the keyboard and mouse cable for the DEC 3000 model 300X series system. This order number may not be visible on the cable itself; look for part numbers 17-02640-01 or 17-02640-02 on the 15-pin end of the cable. The video connection is a separate triax; the BC29G-09 cable. This cable order number can also be identified as the 17-02906-01 part. Cables of this vintage Alpha workstation can be and often are common with the then-current members of the VAXstation series. Discussions of synch-on-green in the OpenVMS FAQ are applicable. While the DEC 3000 series systems are still supported on current versions of OpenVMS, a faster, newer system is likely a better choice for many needs. Pointers to various hardware-related websites are included in the OpenVMS FAQ.
