You don't require a physical serial terminal; with a null-modem cable from the 712 to the serial port of another system (Linux, Windows, it doesn't matter) and a terminal emulation program on that system you will have a perfectly functional serial console - with the added advantage that you can copy&paste everything that is printed to the console for bug reports etc. For the keyboard problem, you can either find another PS2 keyboard and plug that in, or buy/make a PS/2 loopback connector which will effectively make the PS/2 port think there is a keyboard attached. > I'm a little bit wary of enabling a serial console, particularly when it > could very well interact poorly with my desire every so often to plug > in a keyboard/monitor to the box.
