The controller Kevin has is a Memorex/Telex (well the firm that they became) so the 3174
DSL Microcode may not be appropriate. If I remember properly the Memorex/Telex units also
wanted 3.5" diskettes...

The 3290 plasma panel? It's not for sale but I do have one - and more
importantly the critical DSL diskette the 3174 needs in order for it to work. It's
the only one I've ever seen' good luck; you'll need it!
If you do get one and need the DSL code let me know and we'll work
something out.
Funny you should mention that; I just tried to fire it up for the first time in...
at least 5 years I think - just last week. SMPSU issues; the PSU starts and
immediately shuts down - whether or not there's a load on it. Dunno if it's
crowbarring or what. Thing is in bits on the bench right now. I have no
schematics so don't anticipate a quick fix. Also it's a 3rd party PSU IBM bought
in - made in China IIRC.

particularly rare, but am sure many of them have been destroyed in the
waning years since it takes special equipment/know how/desire to even
use. Any leads on on for a reasonable price?
