I was watching that. I was wondering what a reasonable value of something like that is. Interesting piece of kit, anyway. - Derrik > On Jan 4, 2021, at 3:25 PM, Bill Dromgoole via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic(a)lists.vcfed.org> wrote: > > Sold for $167.50 plus shipping. > Not mine. > > Bill > > From: Duane Craps via vcf-midatlantic > Sent: Wednesday, December 30, 2020 11:56 AM > To: VCF > Cc: Duane Craps > Subject: [vcf-midatlantic] Paper tape reader > > manual Paper tape reader on ebay, > > https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-RAECO-TPR-1-Paper-Tape-Reader-w-Schematic-… > > > Duane > > -- > DuaneCraps > sdɐɹɔ ǝuɐnp > >

portable terminal preferences
by ☼ wil lindsay ☼ 04 Jan '21

04 Jan '21

I've found myself continually searching for a portable (preferably backlit) dedicated terminal/telnet device for various projects. It looks like historically, the portable terminals like the TI Silent 700 series were basically superseded by portable computers (please correct me if I'm wrong). I only see a few examples of the in-between devices such as a Travelmate LT220 or a screen add-on for the Silent 700. My current go-to is to repurpose netbooks with linux and an FTDI cable or over wifi to some hardware connection. This still seems like overkill, but seems like the most usable solution. Clearly, I can just strike up a console on my main laptop, but I like to use something other than the laptop I use for work, paying bills and other dull affairs. This should be fun, right? I'm curious what everyone else uses to connect to their various machines. Straw poll? Thoughts?
