Per posts from a few weeks ago, you will need to obtain a keyboard interface
box with cable to connect ANY keyboards or mice to the 715/100's The 'even'
model 715's have a 10 pin RJ that connects the input box to the machine. Do
a search through the rescue archive it should be easy to find for more
details.

Serial console is your friend with that box.

The HP's of that vintage like the same 512 byte block CD-ROMs that Sun and
SGI's like. The 1x Sun caddy loading CD-ROM will not work though.
