I get CCTalk in digest form and see the "?" in Ed's posts. Almost all (but strangely not all) of his posts are like that. I might occasionally see a strange extra character in someone else's post, but only rarely and then they usually are some non-English diacritical mark.
BTW, we went through this about 6 months ago. Someone pointed out the strange characters in Ed's posts. No change resulted from that, however, and I doubt this thread will cause any change.

I'm trying to use the Compaq/HP Extended Math Library? (CXML) on a DEC
Alpha under AXP Openvms 8.4 - Hobbyist License.
Fortran 8.2 and CXML were part of the Hobbyist distribution I downloaded.
CXML complains that FORRTL is not present or the version is too low, (it
is not present - $Product show product - )
What am I missing?

I've been helping the MAME guys simulate a TS-2624, which is a block mode HP emulating terminal.
I had bought this a while ago, and never dumped the firmware. Unfortunately there is a large
NiCd battery right in the middle of the board that leaked all over. I've taken some pictures
which are up under falco on bitsavers.
If anyone has one of these, you want to do battery mitigation ASAP. I'm in the middle of replacing
every socket on the board since they were all within range of the leakage corrosion.
Also, I suspect the first generation of terminals all have similar hardware with different
firmware, so if someone has any of the other models (TS-1, etc.) we could get them simulated
pretty easily once the firmware is dumped.
Hello. Encountered a couple odd parts in the pile today, not sure if they
are anything special. Hp branded dip packages with gold leads. They appear
to be leds in 4 grid patterns on the face. Im curious what they are out of,
most likely an old hp computer or calculator.
Part number on the back is hp5033592-101
i could not find any information online about them. If they are of use to
someone with a hp conputer let me know. If not im trying to find a
datasheet and use them in a project.

I have completed a scan of the December 1972 issue of "Communications
News" and posted it to archive.org:
https://archive.org/details/CommunicationsNewsV9N12/page/n0
Lots of great info and (mostly tiny) pics in here for fans of
terminals, modems, early online networks and the growing data
communications and computer telephony industries. And a big color ad
for a Silent700 ASR!
Google Books holds a lot of the other industry journals (the "______
World" types) but as far as I can tell, there are no other issues of
this publication online.

Vintage geeks,
Third attempt - hope springs eternal!
Do any of you know where I could get hold of IBM 2321 "Data Cell" media?
1960s-1970s.
See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_2321_Data_Cell
If you do, I would like to get hold of one.
Many thanks,
Peter
