Actually, it looks like the abandoned Pabst brewery has more
interesting electronics in it. I wonder if there's something
interesting behind the control board that has the temperature and
humidity chart recorders on it. Anyway, there's at least a VT100 (I
think. Can't read the number) there.

Well that's tomorrow night gone for me and quite possibly Jules since we
both love the urban exploration stuff. Apologies for the off-topicness but
I'm about to make up for that :)

New subject: Facit 9911 2.5" floppy drive
Folks,
I've had this for ages and it's about time I found out what it is and what
it connected to. It's (as the subject says) a Facit 2.5" floppy drive with a
label underneath that says 'FACIT Sweden, code 9258 04 00-00'. I got it with
a box of bagged microfloppies and it has a huge connector cable off it
ending in an interface module that's about 7" long bearing the legend 'for
use with Option Adapter 9910'
Google's turned up nothing, anyone know about this wee device?

New subject: Facit 9911 2.5" floppy drive
Hi!
Can you send me a picture of it, I'll try to see if I can help. I'll ask
around among my friends.
The only Facit equipment I've encountered is VT52 terminals (still got a
keyboard) and typewriters.
Facit was later sold to Ericsson and incorporated in their computer
branch. Ericsson made PC clones in late -80 and early -90.

terminals (still got a=20
keyboard) and typewriters.
Facit was very well-known for paper tape equipment. The 4070 punch was
used (and badged) by just about every computer company at one time or
another, but Facit made other punches and readers.
