Hi
No, I think these are serial. They go through an RJ connector.

All,
I'm looking for any hints or advice on repairing a broken RL02 drive. I have two drives, one is working, the other indicates a fault.
The unit with the fault lights the fault light as soon as it's powered up, it goes through it's normal power up cycle (runs the spindle at low speed) and seems normal beyond the fault.
All power supply voltages are normal.
I've swapped the 'easy' to swap parts with my working unit however the fault persists (swapped the logic board that lives on the top/back cover, the servo board and the unit select buttons). Before I tear deeper into it I was hoping someone might have some hints or experience that will help me.

This *might* help. For my transputer stand-alone workstation, I used a
serial keyboard that is basically used for PDAs. You can always use one of
those serial-to-parallel converters to hook it up.
Take a look at the KeySync keyboard:

Here are some links on connecting it to Linux:

Hi
Actually it is quite easy to use the parallel
port of a PC as well, in a pinch. I'm looking for
a keyboard that is more in the right age group ( about
late 70's ).

Well, if no one else makes a claim, the older smaller capacity drives are
usually in demand for amateur radio clubs. I have a reserve here for my
local club. As an incentive, most of these clubs in the US are 501(c)3
corporations. You would be able to take these as a tax deduction. Find
comparables on a refurb site, save the comparable resale value from when you
donate as documentation of a resonable price, and count them as donations at
the end of the year.
Much of this also applies to older 486 computers. A lot of the software
still used on the packet backbone will not run on newer machines.
Of course, I am not an accountant, so please verify all of this, especially
the comparables bit.

While wandering around the hallways here at Yale, I came upon a catalog
>from Inmac, dated July 1991. I then proceeded to laugh in a bit of
amazement over the prices of some of the items when new, and how much
they go for now. Here are some tidbits...
Inmac NB/386sx laptop - $3,495.00
- probably made by Compaq, or that's what it looks like at least.
20 MHz, 9" 32 shades of grey screen, 40MB HDD, 2 MB RAM...
Iomega Alpha 8" 10MB Bernoulli Box Cartridge 3 pack - $235.00
CDC 9883-1/RM05 300MB disk pack - $839.00
or how about some disk drive filters, from $37.00 to $114.00
Mountain 80MB external tape backup drive - $1,149.95...

Hello-
I am looking for a Roland SCC 1 GS MIDI Card. This is an 8 bit ISA card
that was made in 1991.
I had one but it no longer works.
Let me know if anyone has one they are willing to part with.

You know what is REALLY fucked-up?
Coming back home here (Cali), and finding that during the
move from one office building to another, people decided
to not move ALL your stuff.
Waaa!
They ("they" !) threw out my BA123 (incl. the boards, disks,
etc !), my 3100-M76 and a box of spares, just cos "dude, that
was, like, REALLY OLD crap! Didnt know you still needed it!"
*cries*
Sellam, be prepared to spend several hours comforting me :(

Ih ave a fairly old C64 (sn is about 32,000) with an odd logo - a 6 and a
4 smashed together, sort of. There is a picture of the style of machine
about 1/4 down the page at:
http://commodore.ca/products/c64/commodore_64.htm
Every C64 I played with as a kid looked like the one at the top of the
screen, with the rainbow logo. When did Commodore switch?
On a side note, response for the 2400 baud WE modems has been pretty low
(zero, actually). I would rather not scrap these things out, although I
may lug a pair over to RCS. I received a little more info:

Neat stuff.
