Hi guys, I'm on the verge of purchasing a Ultra 10 workstation for a real steal of a price (thanks poor local economy I guess?). The problem is that it only the workstation comes, no keyboard, mouse, no nothing else.
I've read in the service manual that without a keyboard, the machine goes into remote terminal mode, so I have to make a db25 to db9 null modem cable to be able to use it remotely, not a problem at all. The thing is that I don't own another Sun, and the manual specifies to run tip hardwire as a command on the terminal end in another Sun.
Googling a bit I've found that some people use a Windows machine as the terminal, wich I already have in my trusty W2K AcerPower, and a hackintoshed HP Z420 wich also comes with a serial port which seems to be recognized under /dev.
Anyone here has had any success runing its Sun as a terminal from another non-Sun machine? I don't have a problem waiting a bit and buying a Type 5 keyboard and mouse combo, wich I'll have to end up doing anyway, but It'll be nice to test the Ultra as soon as it arives.
