[SunRescue] OT: RS/6000s

[emp7 at cornell.edu]

This is a little off-topic, but I'm sure that someone knows absolutely 
everything about this little problem I'm having.

A friend of mine acquired a pair of old RS/6000s (one 250 and one 410 (I 
think)).  Unfortunately they came with no keyboards, no monitors, and no 
RAM.  I searched the net and the references I found said that some 
RS/6000s used PS/2 RAM.  How is this different from normal 72 pin RAM?  
Where's a good place to find some?  Do the two guys that we have require 
PS/2 RAM or can I use standard 72 pin RAM?

And how do I see what's going on when I boot 'em up?  I tried running a 
serial cable out the back, but was unable to see anything on my 
terminal.  And hooking up a sun monitor to the 13w3 connector in the back 
didn't net a video signal.

Sorry to ask so many (doubtless boneheaded) questions but there just 
isn't as much information on RS/6000 rescue as there is for Suns on the net.

Any leads as to good RS/6000 resources would be held close to my bosom and 
treated with the love they deserve.

lil' SE/30 all pressed up against it...
