There is one that runs under UNIX.
Also the rollers for the TU58 I clean off the goo to get down to the
basic hub then use .500 od/.375 id Tygon tubing. which is a stretch
fit over the hub, add a drop of super glue and trim to width as
diameter is not critical and that material seems to hit it very close.
I've done this to maybe 8 them I still use.

I've written one for DOS that needs some tweaking still... I'll cut
loose the source code if someone wants to fix it up. Basically, it
sometimes gets out of sync and you have to power down the 750 and
restart the PC to get it back working...

THANKS Allison! I bought two from Keyways, Inc. for $40 + shipping...
For that price, I could have bought 20' of Tygon tubing... Live and
learn...

Thanks! Replacements in place. All I need now is a pinout of the power
harness - I'm assuming that black is GND, red is +5 and orange is +12, but
I'm going to verify it before I apply power.
Oh... that and some slurping software for DOS or UNIX.
