No, there was a box called DQUNA or something like that too-- I used DELNI
and DQUNA boxes at a medical diagnostics manufacturer. I think maybe one of
them was a thin-net concentrator???

Toth,
Don't know if you still have any of these connector kits, but I could
use a few. Let me know, otherwise, I'll look elsewhere. We still use
them for connecting to Lab instrumentation, and they always
Have a way of breaking.
Thanks,

I created an article on Wikipedia about the LINC-8 and put what little

people could check it for errors and perhaps provide some citations.

Hi
Does anyone have an early model Vector Graphic computer with the MZOS ROM in
it? It would be an early Vector Graphic computer (pre-1980) with 48K RAM.
The MZOS ROM would be located at $C400-$C7FF. Even a hex dump from DDT
would be useful or any other format I can convert.
I need the MZOS ROM to be able to compute the sector checksum on some MZOS
boot disks. Those disks are not readable with my VG machine or CWVG since
they use a unique checksum algorithm.
Actually, I can read the disks with CWVG but I cannot verify the contents of
the sector with the checksum so I have no idea if the data is actually good
or not.
Thanks!

For those with machines that have a way to plug into the KB matrix and
want PS/2 keyboard support, I would suggest a derivative of C=Key
(www.jbrain.com/vicug/gallery/c=key/). It acts like an 8x12 keyboard
matrix to a vintage machine, no modifications to the machine are
needed. As currently laid out, it's designed to work with the CBM
VIC/64/128 series machines, but the source has been structured to allow
easy retargeting to any KB matrix up to 8x12. On the PS/2 side, it
decodes all incoming data and can send data to the PS/2 keyboard, such
as resetting the KB and setting indicator LEDs.
And, source code is under GPL, as is the design. I'm always up for a
donation if you like the work, but I was once a starving collector too.
The key is the MT8812 (or equivalent) cross point switch.
However, it's overkill if you just need a serial or parallel output
(PS2Encoder is much simpler).
Note that, if you just need a PS2 KB to vintage machine interface, C=Key
can be reduced in size and a much smaller uC can be used (you only need
8 data lines to run the Xpoint switch, 2 for the PS/2 interface, so a 14
pin or 20 pin uC will work fine. That's the same for the PS2Encoder. I
used a 28 pin IC in the design as that was handy, but the design can
work the smaller units.
I'd be happy to help folks design new variations on the design for other
systems (Atari and TI come to mind).

It seems Clarkson does not know that much about modern computers either. The following is from the latest SANS Newsbites.

--UK TV Host Learns a Lesson About Data Exposure (January 7 & 8, 2008)UK television personality Jeremy Clarkson put his money where his mouth is and lost GBP 500 (US $984). Clarkson published his bank account information to demonstrate that the media frenzy over lost HMRC data belonging to 25 million people was unwarranted. Clarkson was certain that no money could be transferred out of his account. However, one reader managed to set up a GBP 500 direct debit to a UK charity. Because of the Data Protection Act, there is no way for the bank to discover whoe stablished the direct debit, nor is there a way to ensure that it doesn't happen again. Clarkson has admitted he was wrong about the potential risks inherent in data exposure. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7174760.stmhttp://www.sunderlandec…

Jeremy Clarkson dos the BBC2 Top Gear motoring program, used to be a serious
motoring program but in recent years has turned into a "boys toys lets see
what stupid thing we can do with a car" program, funny all the same, a bit
of light relief.
I'm very surprised Bletchley Park let him near those machines, the BBC must
have had to agree to serious contractual terms, Clarkson's comments are
always controversial and he is renown for breaking things, especially that
involving technology. I have to say I do agree with him sometimes.
Mike.
