I've been playing around with my LX a little (chips from Mouser came,
the 1+ lives again!  So I need something else to screw with), trying
to figure out why it wouldn't come up on the serial port.  I noticed
that it has no VSIMM at all; could this cause the computer to not even
come up on the serial console?

I can go where I found this one and get another LX that actually has a
VSIMM, of course, and maybe pick up some more memory along the way,
but I'd like to know that the VSIMM missing could cause the machine to
not boot--otherwise I might as well try and get a 4 or 5.  Some
preliminary investigation reveals that the processor in the LX is
anemic, and so that may not be a bad idea anyway.
