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 :)

G'day DCC/DG lovers -
I have updated the SimuLogics site with some DCC, Rolm and DG/One info.
(Its a start, anyway.)
www.SimuLogics.com/nostalgia/rolm/rolm.htm
I know there's lots of those Rolms still in use by the military.
At least they were everywhere when I field serviced Vax systems at Fort
Monmouth (a hotbed of Army software development) in the mid '80's.
