Really though, you should find someone with an LMI Lambda to give
the keyboard to. It belongs with its mate.
Indeed! And if you do find a Lambda, then there would be quite a few
people interested in learning more gnarly details about the
architecture.

I said 3/50 because that is what the silkscreen says.
The silkscreen clearly says 3/60, you have a clear serial with a 5

the 4003 and 4004 should be very similar.
Except of course be if someone already had the driver software

You don't even need call the law if you break a mercury thermometer,
which is about 3-4 grams of mercury. A bulb has what, a few

And if you break one you have to call HAZMAT. You did realize that,

remediation by law!!

Right. The typical desktop scroll bar as thought of today, however,

Those where already available on

Read the archive, it isn't peculiar to the gnu.org.
Two of the four ipv4 nameservers for gnu.org are broken. By those
odds, I would expect anything up to 50% of any mail you receive via

Which has nothing to do with anything.

This is a peripheral. USB OTG doesn't apply, and USB-A would be
"inappropriate". Pretend this is an inkjet printer. What plug would
you expect to find on that?
A type B plug.
FWIW, Mini-B connectors are on their way out, nor USB OTG compliant.
Though agreed that they are flimsy... Why not just a type A or
something? Easy, big, and robust.
I think also that whatever your decision is, that people should simply
respect that. Better be safe than sorry after all.

However, doesnât developing the emulator make you an accessory to the
