I just finished taking pictures and dumping the

nice to get a firmware dump from an Ethernet card. A start of a 630 driver
is
in MAME.
Mine has a Starlan 10 adapter in it, which is apparently close enough to
twisted-pair Ethernet that it can be bridged with one of AT&T's Starlan
hubs, which is how I have it wired to my network. I'll see if I can dump
the ROMs, but they're not socketed so it'll take a bit of surgery. I also
have the ISDN adapter, which has socketed EPROMs.

It also appears the keyboards for the 630 and 730 aren't backwards
compatible
with the other 6xx products and the 5620. 5620 keyboards need -12v which
the 630 or 730
don't supply, and the 610 keyboard doesn't appear to work either. Josh
took a couple
of pictures of his 630 keyboard and even though they look similar, the
earlier keyboards
were made by Teletype and the 630 is made by Keytronic.
