Look for board with RS-232 connector. The C3K is a single board system, the RS-232 connectors on the back are mounted and routed directly to the motherboard (like a common PC). If I remove the disks, CDROM, floppy, and memory from the system, it still powers up and displays the same error. I was surprised it booted without any ram in the slots, but it's a robust design :-) Cheers, Carlos. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-parisc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
