I guess this is the modern equivalent to "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway." https://www.wired.com/2017/05/best-way-transmit-satellite-data-trucks-reall… Devin -- Devin J. Heitmueller http://www.devinheitmueller.com

stumped...what is this keyboard enclosure for? http://vintagecomputer.net/pictures/2017/Temple/Mystery_Keyboard_Enclosure.… The key pattern fits no computer I own, and I have a lot of keyboards <Hank Hill impression> I tell you what</Hank Hill impression> I plan to re-purpose it as a guitar pedal holder because it'd be perfect for that...but before I do please warn me otherwise or claim it as worth saving historically.

Just wondering if anyone here might know who bought this? I want to start aggregating and archiving info on this rare clone-of-a-clone system. I seem to have a propensity for this type of thing... http://www.ebay.com/itm/282462822861 -- Thanks, AJ Palmgren http://Entrex480.com

Intel AboveBoard AT info needed
by Richard Cini 16 May '17

16 May '17

All -- I may have posted about this before but I have an AB/AT (TTL version, not with the large GAL on it) and I'm having problems getting the software configured properly for EMS use. The driver ZIP archives on the Net are incomplete (based on errors produced from the setup program). GlenS has been helpful in piecing together info, but I have not been able to locate a complete disk or manual for the board anywhere. I do have it running as XMS based on switch settings I found and the memory tests good, so at least I've made progress. If anyone has the disk and manual let me know. Thanks!
