Hello,
I am trying to connect a VT340 (A version, still looking for a G2!) up as
the console on my VAX3800 in the BA213. What I need to figure out are the
setup controls to do this.
I have an DEC MMJ-MMJ cable, which if I connect from the console port MMJ
connector to the VT340 COMM1 MMJ connector, it does not seem to work.
If I use the same cable and connect it to the MMJ to Female DB25 connector
and plug that into the RS232 port of the 340 it does work.
I've tried setup where it says "comm type" and changed it from RS-232 to
DEC-423 but that didn't have the expected effect.
Clues anyone? Do I need a special MMJ "null modem" type cable or something?

Kaypro was spun off to keep NLS as test equipment and Kaypro as computers.
This was to keep the brand identification that NLS had aquired for many
years doing counters, DMM and later O'scopes.
I have a MS15 portabel scope that predates Kaypro computers by easily 10
years.

I have finally got an Osborne 1 with SSDD drives to add to my others that
have SSSD drives. Now I have finally been able to boot an O1 with a SSDD
boot image courtesy of Don Maslin.
I have been unable to make SSSD disks on a PC. Is there any way I can now
make one with the SSDD Osborne?
Thanks,
Hans
Here is an article on the disposition of some KayPro property in 1995:
http://www.sddt.com/files/library/oldbriefs/00000069.html Former Kaypro
Property Sells For $2.7 Million - Tue 24-Jan-1995
I am enjoying reading and saving all the KayPro info for our Web page. I
hope you fellows don't mind your posts being posted again on a Web site?
I do need some of you proud KayPro owners to scan some of the books and send
me the KayPro Logo for the page atleast.
Please send all the photos of KayPro you can!

the signals do not go below ground. They are driven from pin 6 on the 1861

An emitter follower would work but, there is the little problem of the
.6-.7V offset <Vbe> that has to be taken care of. Pulling that juntion
positive with a resistor in the range of 680-1600 ohms may satisfy that.

While rooting around in some Z80 stuff today, I found a couple of Zilog
boards, a little less than 8" square, with 62-pin edge connectors. One
(the silk-screen says Z80-MCB) is obviously a processor+RAM+ROM+I/O board,
and the other (the silk-screen says MDC2) some kind of RAM board. I'm
looking for any other useful information. Here's what's on them:
Z80-MCB: Z80, Z80-PIO, Z80-STC, AM9551, 4 empty 24-pin (ROM?) sockets, 8 x
446, a couple of small (MMI 6306) PROMs, assorted TTL, 4-way DIP switch, a
16-pin and an 8-pin socket with jumper blocks labelled "VDU", a pair of
16-pin sockets with unlabelled jumper blocks, 19.6608MHz crystal. In the
top right corner there's a single-inline 7-way socket (looks like half of a
14-pin DIL socket). Two positions, J6 (8-pin) and J2 (16-pin) are empty.
The MDC2 board has a Z80-PIO, 3 banks of 8 x 4116, what appear to be a
couple of bipolar PROMs (one label is illegible, the other says
"33-0053-16"), and assorted TTL.
Both boards have a round red device that could be a voltage regulator on
them.
Any information gratefully received!
