The default is 9600/8/N/1 but maybe someone messed with the default comms
parameters in OpenFirmware; have you just tried it at a bunch of different
baud rates on your terminal [emulator]? I believe sending a BREAK on ttya
is equivalent to the Stop-A from the graphics head but it's been a while
I can't even see the hardware messages at power-on; just garbage - on both
systems, at every baud rate I've tried on the emulator. Nowhere near
booting OS.

You never know ... I once had a network cable that would cause SS10s to
