I can drop using STOP A to the OK prompt (even though I can't actually see it) and run the boot command from the keyboard confirming that I can at least use the keyboard now and initiate a reboot without serial terminal. So my machine is probably getting closer to what I wanted even if so far I don't have the correct display / cable combo installed. I have a lot of displays and 13W3/4 wire/VGA converter cables/etc to mess around with so sooner or later I will get one. Bill
