My dad recently came accros some intresting stuff at a county auction.
I wasn't there or he would have baught more stuff :-) but however he did
find some keyboards that look like they came from a terminal and a
computer. Does WYSE ring a bell to anyone? But the biggest enigma is an
IBM 4224 printer which from the diagram on the back look like it was
made for some sort of LAN, but not ethernet. The plug it would take
would be about an inch in diameter. This was previously used by the
board of elections and in that case was probably was wired in some sort
of esotaric network. The other puzzel is an ethernet card that is
deffentatily not 10 years old but just bear with me. The face plate
already is a dead give away that it is not made for a PC. The other
thing is that the interface to the computer uses a plug that has 3 rows
of 32 pins. Could any one tell me wat this interface is, and what I
could do to adapt this to be used by a PC's serial poart? Another find
was in the tons of IBM formated disks I found an original wang floppy
disk but without the orginal format :-( Thats all for now.
