A minicomputer, or colloquially mini, is a class of smaller computers that was developed in the mid-1960s and sold for much less than mainframe and mid-size computers from IBM and its direct competitors. In a 1970 survey, The New York Times suggested a consensus definition of a minicomputer as a machine costing less.

No it will not work with a VGA monitor. If it is specifically marked as RS-232 (or with a string of one’s and zero’s), then it is a for things like serial mice. If it on the other hand, it is marked with Mon. Or a rectangle, then it is a connector for or monitors. VGA monitors use a special 15-pin connector (DE-15F) and cannot be connected even with an adapter because the pinouts are completely different (because VGA is analog and works very differently from the older, digital CGA and EGA standards). You could try looking for a converter, but I for one have not seen or heard of any such thing, and would imagine it would be expensive anyway.

Your best bet is to check the local classifieds (especially online ones such as Kijiji or eBay Classified) to see if anyone nearby has a 9-pin monitor collecting dust in the closet. You could also put your own ad specifically asking for one. Update: Seeing your photo and the model of the motherboard, it is a serial port. The P4C800 does not have a 9-pin monitor connector (or even onboard VGA). What you see is a generic bezel not specific to that motherboard. Cases used to come with several bezels of common variations, but because these days, motherboard backplanes come in a wide variety, they don’t and instead, motherboards come with a bezel specific to the board that can be snapped into a case. The one you see has both icons because it can be used for different motherboards and on some, instead of a serial port, there is a 15-pin VGA connector there (which has the same physical dimensions of a 9-pin serial port).

In summary, no, a serial port is not a video port and there is no way to use a monitor of any kind with it (even a 9-pin monitor, let alone 15-pin one). Since it does not have onboard video, you will need to install a video-card. > Wait, the older ports from before VGA were digital? Yes; yes they were. > Why in the world did we ever switch to analog - just because they didn't want to include DAC's in our CRT's?

I don’t think that was the reason (what benefit would there be overall? It just moves the DAC to the video card). I think I have read about the reason at some point in the past, but cannot remember it now.

Off the top of my head though, I think it had something to do with the increased resolution and/or color depth and/or refresh rate. – Feb 6 '12 at 4:52.

Finding an UART on a router is fairly easy since it only needs 3 signals (without modem signaling) to work: GND, TX and RX (often accompanied by VCC). Since your router is very likely to have its I/O pins working at 3.3V ( level voltage), you will need a level shifter such as a Maxim MAX232 to change the level from 3.3V to your computer level which is usually at 12V.

To find out the serial console pins on the PCB, you will be looking for a populated or unpopulated 4-pin header, which can be far from the SoC (signals are relatively slow) and usually with tracks on the top or bottom layer of the PCB, and connected to the TX and RX. Once found, you can easily check where is GND, which is connected to the same ground layer than the power connector. VCC should be fixed at 3.3V and connected to the supply layer, TX is also at 3.3V level but using a multimeter as an ohm-meter and showing an infinite value between TX and VCC pins will tell you about them being different signals (or not). RX and GND are by default at 0V, so using the same technique you can determine the remaining pins like this. If you do not have a multimeter a simple trick that usually works is using a speaker or a LED to determine the 3.3V signals. Additionally most PCB designer will draw a square pad to indicate ping number 1.

In this way you can emulate Cisco Switch in GNS3. This article explains to get a working layer 2 switch in GNS3-1.1.
