Mark, I followed your thread about troubleshooting your monitor. I have a
warehouse in Melbourne Florida with some good and probably some bad VT320's
on the shelves. If you zero in on a bad part or suspect something as bad and
would like to replace it send me an email and if I can pull one from a unit
here it's yours for the cost of shipping.
regards,
thom
hello,
I recently inherited an IBM 3151 terminal, but no keyboard! As some of you
may know, this terminal used a keyboard with an RJ-45 jack on it.
I have been able to find pinouts of both the terminal keyboard connector and a
regular AT style keyboard. I connected all the wires appropriatly, but no
go. The terminal still says "Problem in keyboard".
so, two questions.
1) is it even possible to use an AT or PS/2 keyboard with a 3151 terminal?
2) if so, how?
ps, I am not subscribed, so please cc to me.
thanks,

While U.S. Robotics did not invent the modem, they were one of the first
companies to sell them for home use. Here are some U.S. Robotics data sheets
that I got in February 1978.

I don't want to argue about who was first to sell a modem. I just think it
is neat that U.S. Robotics is still around and I have these data sheets

Subject: [GreenKeys] Teletype Machine Availability
GreenKeyers - - -
This evening I received a telephone call from a gentleman advising me of
the availability of the following teletype equipment. It is free for the
taking.
It is located in the Seattle area.
He does not want the people at "The Source" to be rattled by a bunch of
telephone calls, so please e-mail me should you have an interest.
The list includes:
1 Ea Model 37 KSR
8 Ea Model 28 KSR
1 Ea Model 35 ASR
5 Ea Model 35 KSR
6 Ea Model 14 TD
1 Ea Model 14 RO Reperf
7 Ea Model 15 KSR
1 Ea Model 15 Perforator-Transmitter (Model 19 KBD)
1 Ea Model 43 RO
1 Ea Model 43 KSR
Fair quantity multi-copy paper.
The equipment must be removed fairly soon, as the space it is in has been
designated by the building owner for another purpose. If it is not wanted
by anyone, to the landfill it goes. I have no room for it.
73,
George, W7KSJ

HI:
I am looking for a 5 1/4" floppy drive for a TRS-80. The cable would be
great too! Please let me know the cost. Thank you.
Sorry about my posting yesterday asking for a 1 1/4" drive. It was a typo.

I wish you luck. I know where most of this is in Portland, Oregon, USA. We
have Finlay, a DG collector/scrapper here with some of the older stuff.
It is a long way from London though and Finlay has an unrealistic, IMHO, idea
of value.
I could arrange shipping.....and put you in contact if you are interested.
I think Lufthansa is flying PDX to Frankfurt, Germany. I should investigate
air freight.

I picked up some of a exerciser box made by Century Data Systems of Anaheim, Ca. It's marked T2000B Exerciser. I THINK it might for the old Marksman T-series DC-300 tape drives. Is anyone here familar with this box or with the T-series tape drives?
FWIW CDS was an early manufacturer of hard drives (1960s) and was later bought out by Calcomp.

Hi,
First off I want to thank all who contributed on using VHS tapes as
storage, I really appreciate your input. Now my problem is with my TI-99\A
home computer. I have noticed that the keyboard is dying. I have been
having to hit the keys harder and harder and now some don't work at all. I
took it apart and the keyboard seems to be one unit (not disassemble-able).
The keycaps don't seem to want to come off either. I was hoping to take the
keys apart and clean the contacts but I don't want to break them, if they
aren't so posed to come off. Does anyone have any experience cleaning these
keyboards? If they are a "toss and replace" component, does anyone know
where I could get one?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
