The serial port is kind of weird. It's a parallel port type thing on the
back, and in it, there's this other plug thing that converts the plug
into three RS-232 serial ports. One says "console", and the other two
say "UPS" and "remote".
What type of boot disk would support console? I'm assuming that console
would just mean some sort of rollover cable (similar to Cisco)?

This HP box (http://tinyurl.com/y5a9y6) is currently running SCO unix.
I want to wipe it with Boot and Nuke, but I don't have a video output
or PS/2 slots.
Any ideas on how I might do this? It's all taken apart, so it's not
like I can console into it very easily unless I figure out a way to
hook up a keyboard, video card, and monitor.
