   I'd check the actual documentation (VMS V8.4 and rx2600), but I
believe so.  (I seem to recall reading about people doing it.)  My main
rx2600 is in the basement because of its fan noise, and I use a serial
console with it, but:

ITS $ show devi g

Device                  Device           Error
 Name                   Status           Count
GHA0:                   Online               0
GHB0:                   Online               0

   I believe that one of those is on the MP/iLO card, and the other is
in a PCI slot.

   Also:

its $ show syst /proc = *decw*
OpenVMS V8.4-2L3  on node ITS   25-SEP-2023 20:46:42.05   Uptime  68 04:22:21
  Pid    Process Name    State  Pri      I/O       CPU       Page flts  Pages

   So, I'd guess that if I dragged a display over to it, something would
appear on it.

   I'd also guess that a USB keyboard and mouse would work, but I have
no actual knowledge of that.
