Seeking software for SGI/Sun dial box (was Re: IBM 6094-010 "Dials" protocol?)

I have a traffic light on the serial cable and I know I'm getting chars out of the host and that I don't have TxD and RxD swapped. I'm not seeing any responses from the dial box and the python script does all the initialization and just sits there. Frobbing the knobs produces no blinks on the traffic light and no text from the script. So... I'm digging deeper and I've found two references to some code no longer up and the internet archive did not save the binary archive files. I'm asking here in the hope that someone saved copies 10+ years ago when these files were still being served... In the following thread on the ccp4bb list, there is a mention of these archives... [ in http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/ccp4bb/2003/msg00204.html ] "I'm using SGI dialbox (Part# DLS80-1022) with XFree86 4.0.x under linux, with modified version of the Joe Krahn's dialbox driver. You can get the modified version from http://www.biochem.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~ishitani/dialbox/dialbox-new.tar.gz and the original version from http://www.geocities.com/joekrahn/ " So I'm looking for: dialbox-new.tar.gz dialbox.tgz dials.c Apparently Joe Krahn hasn't done much with Open Source in 15 years because looking for him has not been fruitful. Thanks for any bits! -ethan
