We have a color Vaxstation II/GPX that we want to turn into a grayscale machine
by swapping the VR290 with a VR260/VR262.  DEC Direct said that a BC18P is a
cable that will allow the attachment of a VR260 to the GPX/II.  Well, we have
this cable on another MVIII (of some sort), so I tried using it.  However, the
260 doesn't sync up correctly when attached to the GPX/II -- this problem
happens both under X and in dumb-terminal mode.

Does anyone know of any way of getting this to work?
