AT&T 6386 WS keyboard db9
by Sentrytv 27 Jan '24

27 Jan '24

I don’t usually ask too many questions about 80’s computers here at this group, but I just recently picked up an AT&T 6386WS 386 computer, which uses a DB9 for a keyboard input. Several people have told me that they don’t make adapters and I have not seen any homebrew CONVERTERS for a standard AT keyboard. So I figured I would give it a shot and ask the more educated people here. If anybody has better information than purchasing a true AT&T or compatible keyboard for over $50, please feel free to share! I am also curious to know if an Amiga computer keyboard would work? And if anybody has tried this one out? Thank you all Mike R.

OT / APC AP9617 UPS network card reset
by Martin A. Flynn 27 Jan '24

27 Jan '24

Will be deploying multiple AP9617 UPS network cards at ISEC (the dish antenna site up the road) as wrap-up items on the bucket list They are currently set to an unknown static IP. If necessary, can wire shark the Ethernet connection and pick up the IP address using the MAC that is on the card itself. Anyone have a reset procedure that actually works? Martin

WTB: Decwriter III (LA120)
by W2HX 26 Jan '24

26 Jan '24

Hi all, I'm looking to purchase a working decwriter III (LA-120). Keyboard version would be great, but an RA (printer only) version would work fine too. No computer room would be complete without one! Willing to drive 3+ hours. I'm located about 30 miles north of NYC. 73 Eugene W2HX My Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@w2hx/videos

I've got one with expansion RAM and floppy adapter that will likely be available in the not-too-distant future.

System Source Workshop - bringing an OSI Challenger 1P
by Crawford Griffith 26 Jan '24

26 Jan '24

Folks, I’m bringing parts of an OSI Challenger 1P that I hope to get running and assembled. I bought this at the Berryville VA hamfest years ago. It was in a home-built case that was falling apart. There were quite a few mods to the C1P, I think there is a custom monitor ROM with a selector switch, etc. I hope to remove the mods, get it back to stock configuration. It also has the expansion board with additional RAM, floppy controller and a floppy disk drive. I have proper OSI cases for both the C1P and disk drives. Hopefully, I’ll get some of it working! -Crawford
