Unfortunately, it came without the console MUX panel and cable. I was lucky

The part number of the cable is 5060-3074 though there might be others that

Make sure the configuration switch for system controller matches the slot
it's in. Fixing the NVRAM seems like a good next step. Not sure I'd remove
the memory mezzanine, I don't think the board can do much without it.

cool, but...
these are "translated" sources (presumably from some generic source that is
run through a tool that generates x86 asm). I just wish they had also
released the "source of the source" and the translation tool. Because that

Is it perfect? No.
Is it worth a try? Absolutely!
I have both V5 and V6 and they work very well "most of the time". Some
machines just don't like them (usually in the form of frequent bus resets).
Some machines work better with the V5 and others better with the V6, and

Technically, anything up to 5.1L should run on a 320H. 2GB of disk is
plenty ;)
With 32MB 5.1 is probably a bit of a stretch, but 4.2.1 or 4.3.3 should run
fine, and it's easier to get modern-ish things to compile than on 3.x.
PM me if you need help finding media.

Looking at Ebay it seems old RS/6000 have become expensive...
A Working 7012-390 is certainly rare, they were finicky beasts. I have a
7012-3AT (very similar to the 390) and it's failing diag in weird ways.
I've seen a few 390/3AT/3BT/3CT and all of them had similar issues.

I bought one on ebay a while ago, but I didn't have a QBus enclosure to try
it. I finally got an enclosure at VCF west, and I'll give it a try as soon
as said enclosure has made the trip home.
I never found any information on it except that it is a "compatibility

Sperrschritt is the stop bit, for the rest Google translate did quite well
;)
Operations mode: Asynchronous 16
Character length: 7 bit (with stop bit)
Parity: even

I have no idea what Asynchronous 16 could be, maybe a hint at the higher
level protocol?

Assuming the MVME188 must also work in an backplane that has automatic
IACK/BG bypass, you would remove them in all slots that have a board
installed. AFAIK nothing gets damaged if you get it wrong, it's just that
VME cards further back on the bus won't work properly.

Not what you asked for, but I successfully used HPDrive to emulate HP-IB

modern, it would be much easier to boot it over the network.

I'm assuming you are trying to use the newly added HP-UX images on

Depends on the exact processor board you have...
MVME147/162/177 all use the same MVME712 transition board. The manuals are
on bitsavers and contain the pinouts. But it's mostly academic as you can't
just build your own "simple" adapter. Some of the signals are multiplexed
and need to be decoded.
Freeze as in "screen stays blank (but pressing caps lock changes the LED)",
or "system does not boot at all", or "system boots but locks up when
initializing graphics"?
I assume it's just the screen staying blank. Note that using an SGI monitor
on a sun using a 13W3 to 13W3 cable will not work.
As far as I remember trying to install the client version of AIX on a
server type machine will bomb early in the installation, but it will give
you some confirmation that it did indeed boot from the CD. Maybe your CD is
indeed bad.
Any specific reason why you want to run 4.1.3 and not 4.1.5,
