The speed was 4800 bps. Power on with the red button pressed and the unit returns to factory settings.

    Anything on the first serial port?   It has been awhile, but I seem to
recall it prints out some messages there on (or just after) startup.

If you have a terminal attached to port 1, and have it set to ignore the 
modem signals, and the correct speed (probably 1200 bps, but I might be 
wrong), it will print out some informational messages during self test 
and as it tries to boot.

To actually have it boot you need a MOP server on the network, and the 
right image. PR0801ENG.SYS, if I remember right...

If you are on HECnet, and the MOP protocol is enabled (for both sides), 
MIM will serve the boot image for you.
