		I recently acquired an AlphaStation 200 4/233.  The system
		has an ATI Mach64 video card in it.  I connected a PS/2
mouse
		and keyboard to it and powered it on.  It just sits at a
blue
		screen, the keyboard's numlock responds as expected as does
		caps lock.  I suspect that the firmware is set to talk via
the
		serial port.  I do not have the right serial cable to
connect
		this system to a terminal or pc, so I am wondering if there
is
		a way to force the system to graphical mode.  Anyone have
similar
		experiences?

		Thanks
