Connecting WYSE 150 to SGI/IRIX PROM?
Hi all,

Recently I picked up a WYSE 150 terminal like I used to use at work back in the 90s.
I used them alot, but I never had to actually set one up and get it to connect to the SGI.
I especially want to use it as a PROM front end to the Tezro.

Ive set all the ANSI/baud/bit settings but I cant figure out how to actually get it to connect to the SGI. They are hooked together by a DB9 null cable (is that even right?). If anyone has advice I'd welcome it.

Thanks!

That's probably not right.  Null-modem cables were for computer to computer connections.  You'd normally use a straight-through cable to connect a terminal to a computer.
