And I've got a bunch of Digital Products NC16/250 NetCommanders.
Similar to Dave's Newbridge units; 16 ports/256K buffer, RJ-45 RS232
only (110-19200bd) (on one main board, unlike the Newbridge).
Cascade for more ports.
Literature & docs available.
Also some Datagram StatMuxes, modems, line drivers, converters &c.

Looking for a Sony PCGA-PR5 port replicator.
This is a small box with a cable that fits the I/O connector of older
Sony VAIO notebooks and provides access to parallel, serial,
video and keyboard/mouse ports.
I've put a picture of it at:
http://www.dunfield.com/pub/pcgapr5.jpg
It came standard with the VAIO PCG-505G (which is what I am looking
for it for), and probably other sub-notebooks.
Anyone got one kicking around?
Regards,
Dave Dunfield

Last week I found a curious looking board marked MYcom Instruments
PLL-DataSender. It has a five position terminal strip on the top edge with
some wires dangling from it, a ZIP socket with what looks like an EPROM (it
has a lable on it so I can't read the PN), an LCD display and six
pushbottons on the bottom edge marked "reset", "mode", "send", "up', "down"
and "<cursor>". I can get a display on it and the cursor move things
around and pull up four different displays but I can't fingure out what
it's supposed to do. Anybody know anything about it?

I'm looking to acquire a terminal server so I can feed all the beasts
simultaneously :-).
Before a couple days ago, I didn't know anything about terminals servers
beyond the fact that they existed, so consider me a n00b.
I see that DEC has had a line of terminal servers. They look like
they would do the job (my needs are more along the lines of
connectivity rather than fancy features like 3270 support).
Reading around on the net indicates that Xylogics had a good line of
terminal servers, but that the similarly named Xyplex had buggy
product.
I'm not fixated on the DEC brand, but it looks like they made lots of
product over the years making them readily available and reasonably
priced.
I'm looking for at least 16 ports, preferably 32 as I've already got
more than 16 terminals :-). Whether those 32 ports come in one box or
two boxes (or even 4 boxes) is not so much a concern to me as is the
total cost of acquisition. Ultimately this could feed into a public
interactive museum space exhibit on timesharing. At the moment I
could connect the following:
- DEC
LA-120
VT-100
VT-278
- Heath/Zenith
Z-19
- Hewlett-Packard
HP1351A
HP2397A
HP2621A
HP2648A (2)
- Honeywell
VIP 7809
- Lear Siegler
ADM-3A
ADM-5 (2)
- Megatek
Whizzard 1645
- Tektronix
4010
4014
4105 (4)
9200T (6)
9201T (8)
- Televideo
925
- Teletype
Model 43
- Texas Instruments
Silent 700 (2)
- Westinghouse
W1643
Total: 39
Now realistically, I don't think it would be fruitfull to connect all
39 terminals in my collection as i) I plan on liquidating some of the
Tektronxi 9200T/9201Ts, one of the Silent 700s only has a modem
interface on the exterior and the Westinghouse doesn't have a keyboard
and has some sort of weird party line interface. However, even if you
factor all of those out of the picture a 32-port server still only
leaves me a few ports open. I'd probably need to get up to 64 line
capacity at some point.
Suggestions? Currently I've been looking at the DECserver stuff on
ebay; they seem relatively plentiful and it seems that with patience a
good price could be had. There's a bundle of them on govliq right
now, but the operating condition is unknown.

I checked in RT11 v5.3 :-)
ZIO.MAC and ZMEM.MAC have the "hex field" problem.
New are ZPRINT.MAC and ZSCREE.MAC, they also have that problem.
ZPRINT has 4 errors, and ZSCREE has 11 errors, easy ones.
ZRT.MAC still has the Library SYSTEM.MLB directive problem ...
After the hex to octal adjustments, only ZRT.MAC has a problem.
