What type machines are they from....on Commodore most dongles were merely a
resistor across a couple pins, we used to use paperclips to accomplish the
same thing. On some older ones you may find some hardware defeats openly
available on the net with a little searching...

does anyone have any experience using hardware
copyright keys? I picked
up a couple copies of some software from a thrift shop today and some of
them ask for hardware keys- the most info i can find is something about
serial card plugs? It didn't have them in the box, and I couldn't track
down any info on who donated them. am I completely out of luck ? It
seems to me that I would have to buy a whole copy from the original
seller of the software, but I doubt they're still in business. any info?
