[rescue] Keyboard cable and mouse for DEC alpha AXP3000 needed

[leaknoil]

That was my thought too when I gave away my cable set.  Nothing comes 
out the serial port on these. I'm not sure they were ever intended to be 
used headless. Not even a serial console switch like on the VAXStations. 
There is a prom setting for console  but, I think it only comes into 
play after all the self tests are passed. You can run these  on a serial 
console but, you still need a keyboard attached to get that far. That's 
my take on what info is out there anyway.
