More new cables
As extension of keyboard- and mouse cables didn’t work, I ordered normal PS/2 cables, expecting them to work. These arrived today and I installed them. however, nor keyboard nor mouse were functioning – probably since DecWindows couldn’t access them on startup, and so these are left unnoticed.
There must be another way of doing it (probably stopping and starting the DecWindows server) but the quick and dirty route (AKA Reboot) actually does the same. Plus that the last changes in the startup-procedure (the ones I forgot last time) could be tested.
So In rebooted.
It went smooth and – in the quick look – seems to have started all that is needed. Plus that the directly connected keyboard and mouse do work.
As expected.
