Where's the VGA port

[hooj]

I hope someone can help me on this.

Can anyone find the VGA/video output on the image below?



It's an ancient server that one of out clients was using, but can't for the life of me recognise any sort of video output.

It was connected to some sort of display at their site.

Help!!

Thanks in advance.

Could you take a picture of whats a bit further left, are there anymore ports there?

Thats it im afraid.

Nothing obvious.

No idea how it was connected up before it was moved.

make and model of the server may help

It could be that there was never a vga port as it could be that it could only be accessed remotely (e.g. via telnet), thus that is what you need to do.

I'm guessing that the display was some kind of Wyse type serial terminal. The card in the expansion slots looks like it has the huge port that you tend to get on multi serial port cards which would suggest that it's been some kind of multi user system. I remember seeing something similar running some flavour of UNIX a long long time ago.

As suggested above you might have some joy with Telnet, hyper terminal and a null modem cable might be the best option.

Looks like an old Sun Ultra, you can get adapters for those I think

I think you might be right on this.
Apparently there was some sort of network/serial connections at their site.

Obviously they didnt think to bring that kit!

Will try the telnet option.
