The nodes with the 155 MB disks do not have this extra connector and it doesn't seem to be mentioned in the unpacking or operating manuals for the DN3000 series. Does anyone know what this extra connector is for? -- David Krowitz mit-erl!mit-kermit!krowitz@eddie.mit.edu mit-erl!mit-kermit!krowitz@mit-eddie.arpa krowitz@mit-mc.arpa (in order of decreasing preference) does the machine also have a tape drive? that is likely what it is for. In any case if you don't plan to add another tpae drive, cover the scoket so someone doesn't plug a terminal into it, as your tape drive will stop working. (The serial port is along the bottom edge, next to the keyboard socket. It is deeply recessed and labeled p2)
