ok,
here's the problem in a nutshell.

I inherited 2 EB164 DEC 21164 full tower units. one I was able to update the 
firmware on, the other appears brain dead.

The brain dead unit was working at one time, but now, I get no console output 
and no other indication that its even useful. the memory checks out (checked 
it on the other machine) and, as far as I can tell, so does the cpu.

is there any way to reset this board so that I can either get a console (on 
serial port 1) or a display (ARC windows NT mode)?

HELP!

TMH
