Thank you Theo and Christian for your replies.  This machine has just
been upgraded from 5.3 to 6.5!  I did lose half the memory, POST
detected errors and left me with 4GB usable.

The uplcom(4) from my previous mail has been destroyed and disposed of
- a replacement uplcom(4) worked just fine.

| uplcom0 at uhub3 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0 "Prolific Technology Inc. 
USB-Serial Controller" rev 1.10/3.00 addr 9
| 
| Could there be pin-out or flow control issues that allow incoming data
| (from serial console on the sparc64 box to the cu(1) running on my
| laptop with this uplcom(4)), but that give erratic behavior when
| trying to type?  Pressing enter once at a login prompt gives me:
| 
| Please login: 
| Please login: 
| Please login: 
| Please login: 
| Please login: Sun(tm) Advanced Lights Out Man
| Please Enter password: 
| 
| I've uploaded a couple of script(1) typescripts for the four machines
| I tried that have the cu session output captured:

| http://www.weirdnet.nl/openbsd/serial_script/v210_1.txt
| http://www.weirdnet.nl/openbsd/serial_script/v210_2.txt
| http://www.weirdnet.nl/openbsd/serial_script/v215.txt
| http://www.weirdnet.nl/openbsd/serial_script/solair_workstation.txt
| 
| In all cases I just did `script -c "cu -l cuaU0"`, none of them
| properly responds to any input on the console.  The solair machine
| doesn't respond at all, it just sits there, the v210 machines don't
| boot (admittedly, I forgot the ALOM password, but I can't type it in
| either).  The v215 actually boots into an old OpenBSD 5.3 install but
| has completely garbled up output after it boots.
| 
| Any advice on how to get any of these going again?  Will this work at
| all with the uplcom(4) device, or do I need a true serial port on a
| machine somewhere?
| 
| Thanks,
|
