Thanks.

As it turns out, the keyboard mapping for the PC console with the AT  
84-key keyboard is, er, non-obvious. The magic I was missing was that  
the submit form key is "caps lock". I actually have the system IPLed  
right now, and have been logged in and poking around. Looks like my  
machine has 1 MB storage and 2x 40 MB fixed disks. Not too shabby.

My immediate problem now is that I can't figure out where most of the  
Cmd keys (like Cmd3) are mapped to, so I can navigate my way back  
through the menus and shut the system down. I'm having success using  
the system from a 3192 clone I have plugged into the twinax port, but  
it's not the system console and some actions are not possible because  
of it (like, it seems, shutting down the system).
