I was digging through a bunch of cables today and found a DataPoint 2400
MODEM with the cables still attached. The cables look like they're for an
HP 1000. The hoods on the far end said HP (something)(something)618. I've
looked and tried to figure out what card that might be but didn't find
anything. Asnybody know what card that is? Anybody know anything about the
DataPoint 2400 MODEM? I didn't see a manufacturer's name but it has the
Bell symbol on it.

Yo Joe.
It's probably just re-badged by DataPoint, but manufactured by Bell.
DataPoint made nifty networked computers and invented ARCNET (see my next
message for more on that).
It may well be that Datapoint sold the modem for interconnecting to HP
minis.

Would you be willing to sell that modem? I would love to have it... if you are willing to
sell it.

Probably connects to a 12566 BACI board. The pin-out for this cable is
available in the BACI
manual on Al's site, check this against what you have.
