I was looking for an affordable source of 720K disks before I sold my 5140
so my instinct kicked in haha.

Bill Degnan had asked in a previous message about the DeVry Trainer that we
exhibited at HOPE_16.
The trainer is labeled: De Vry Institute of Technology Bell & Howell Schools
We don't have a lot of information about it. Like the year that it was
created, who manufactured it, who used it, home many were made, etc. The
usual information that you would put on an info card for an artifact.
Here is a picture:

I'd love to stop by, but $250 is one hell of an entrance fee.

Looking for the 24-pin PC clock batteries, such as benchmarq p/n: PM346006
Mouser and Digikey is out of stock.
Anyone have an adapter or method to make one?
Bill
I have a tube of them here, but they won't do anything in any VDG-based
system here. Wondering if it's just broken parts (I have no record of
buying them, so must have been someone gifting them to me) or there's
something I am missing:
