Thank you all for your help.  I did not even think when I asked the question (I was so excited with my new toy).  


We are all good (even though I cant bring the system up - because it seems that there is operating system loaded on it... )  :(


Thank you again

Hi Greg,
 The console is usually plugged in to a 3-to-1 cable (A5191-63001). The 
wide end
of that cable is plugged into a port on your A500 marked console/UPS. An 
RS232
terminal such as your 700/92 makes a good console. The keyboard will 
plug in to
the terminal as usual. If your DDS is a DDS2 or DDS3 it has a SCSI 
single ended
interface. A DDS4 would be LVD.

old terminal 700/92 to it), however, where do I plug the keyboard?  I cant see 
any connections for the keyboard...

Will this be connected to the ultra scsi or single ended at the back?
