Yeah, I have a couple of them. Mine are made by ROLM but were made for the
US Navy so they're probably NOT standard. A lot of the navy computers are
made by Rolm.

Does anyone else on the list have a Rolm besides me? I
wonder
how many are actually in private hands. I have a 1602 that I
picked up at the Manassas Va. hamfest a couple of years ago.
The fellow that sold it to me claimed that he bought 2 of 'em
at a NASA auction, which is believable because it has a couple
of tags that proclaim it to be part of a "Spacecraft Simulator".
I haven't yet had time to play with it, but I hope to do so sometime
this summer. Attaching anything to the mil-spec connectors is going
to require a lot of creativity :)
