I don't have the panel to connect to the machine,
but if anyone has the pinout availiable,
I may be able to homebuild an adapter to get a serial console.
If anybody has a spare mux panel, it would be welcome as well.

That will be very difficult. The MDP isn't just a straight connection for
all the serial lines but something like a switched multiplexer...

Maybe it's easier to get a MDP Panel...

I've got the mux cable but not the panel, any use? Can easily send to
Germany.

I was afraid of something like that...
BTW. I have two different peripheral boards:
- one has an single ordinary 9 Pin sub-D connector
(looks like matching the 40299-60003 cable?)
- one has the 78 Pin 4 Row connector
(like for 5062-3052 or 5062-3074)
Isn't the first the MUX(MDP) while the later is the direct (DDP) board?
I may get (temporary) acces to a panel of the later art?

> Maybe it's easier to get a MDP Panel...

I have a 8 port panel labeled "EISA/PCI Mux expansion".
Is there any way to get it connected to a HP-PB machine,
or does it use a totally different interior?

Did a quick multimeter check on the DDP Panel yesterday:
It looks like its straight connected to the 78 pins of the output,
No electronics inside the panel.
Now to find a place to purchase the 78pin plug...

I don't know the DDP since I only had (and still have) the MDP but since the
connector has that much pins it's possible that there is a line for every
serial interface.

These connectors are AFAIR made by AMP, www.rs-components.de should have
them...

Will look further...
