- Yes. Just remember that the VAX will treat the QVSS as the "console", so
- you'll have to have a keyboard there as well. You won't be able to use the
- serial port until you've got the operating system up and enabled logins.
-
- Also, if you expect to use the CPU serial port for file transfers, you
- may be in for a disappointment - it's an unbuffered, interrupt-per-char-
- acter port.
