Right, thanks. The serial ports on the IPC are (fortunately) 8-pin
dins in addition to the keyboard and audio ports.

As long as you have a mini-din 8 to DB25 adaptor ( or

NOT. It is for the sun keyboard.

I picked up a couple of Sun Sparcstation IPCs the
other day, but didn't
have a monitor for them. I wanted to use my Mystic
as a serial console
for the Suns and wondered it the serial connection
and standard serial
cable was enough or if I needed some other type
cable.
On the other hand, I might just mod them and put a
Classic II mobo in
one rather than setting up a firewall/DMZ.
