What kind of console terminal plug is on the SC40? Are you sure your cable is wired correctly? I ve seen this kind of funny business happen when the ground was swapped with the data pins that s not uncommon with homemade MMJ cables.

Typing some letters works but others don't? Check your parity.

It looks like you are echoing the characters from the console back to
itself, "half duplex"?
Alright. It loaded microcode now! 16MWord!

To my knowledge, no - whatever ships with 8.3 is what is there, although I'm not sure how to tell.
However, at $previous_job where they ran OpenVMS in production and I had access to DCL, the DS15 ran 8.3 and that is where I originally discovered this easter egg. I can't believe they would have had anything other than the standard message file.

I swear I did not make this up:
MISER$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$MESSAGE (2928)
%SYSTEM-W-FISH, my hovercraft is full of eels
MISER$ show sys /noproc
OpenVMS V8.3 on node MISER 12-FEB-2015 10:19:47.86 Uptime 70 13:37:37
However, on 7.3:
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$MESSAGE (2928)

$ show sys/noproc
OpenVMS V7.3 on node FRUGAL 12-FEB-2015 10:20:56.80 Uptime 70 11:00:39
Looks like 8.3 is required! ?
