I have an SGI PS/2 keyboard on it :)

Weird. I've used both my old Sun 20" CRT (13W3) and a 19" VGA CRT
w/13w3 adapter. I'm using the same adapter now, I just don't have the
CRTs anymore.

I haven't booted him for a good while, it could be that there is some
other problem. I *think* I have a RS422 -to- RS232 mac cable here
somewhere. If I can find it, I'll see if I can get anything off the
console.

Thanks!
