Has anyone gotten any Hobbyist Licenses lately? I’m trying to get them, and I
notice that while I’m signing up at an HPE.com website, the initial email comes
from an HP.com address. So far no luck getting licenses, but they might have
gone to my now nonexistent Aracnet email address (aka NL:).

I can get output on the alternative serial console, but no matter what I do
with the setenv console command, or installing/removing the video card, the
firmware console will not take input from the alternate serial console.

Al,
There are a couple of ham radio sites that you could post on.
Do a search and you should find them:
1) QTH
2) eham
3) QRZ
Also check with the local ham radio club's.
They usually know of collectors in your local area.
You probably don't want to ship the SX101 as it it is quite heavy.
I too... :-)

I'm looking for a working Tarbell DD floppy controller for a restoration

Interesting. I am again rerunning some download, this time set to

Greenkeys might be a good list to post it to.
