No big deal if you dont want to have multiple vt's on the console. The emphasized phrases are functions performed with a PC-XT style keyboard on the console. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dennis S.

Using a non-605 will mean that you can have alternate console, but you won't be able to enter the rom-based setup with the terminal. The rom-setup requires that you have a terminal that will generate PC scan codes over the serial link.
