For those interested in viewing those line printer files but without a
suitable printer I have hacked together a small Java program for viewing and
exporting the files. Nothing great, but it does the job. Try SMALLCAT
first.

Hi,
I saw your post online regarding the D-101 Datascope Manual. If you still
have copy, I'm interested. Please let me know?
Thank you.

Thanks for the fun exercise!
Nice job. I viewed SPOCK, MOON, ASTRONAUT.
I had to recompile (at moment I'm set for java 6; and still novice at java)

That's the scheme I have in mind for making a Pertec interface one of these

Hi folks.
I'm new here, but some of you will know me from the VCF forums, where
I go by roberttx.
I've recently picked up a 5110 (BASIC only), along with a 5114 floppy
drive and a 5103 printer. It has all the mandatory cards, but no
optional ones.
It powers on, completes its self test and gets t

Are Sun keyboards of this era still in circulation or is an adaptor a
better way to go? Are these keyboards made at all well? Any and all
information is appreciated :)

The LP20 is just the printer interface. It looks exactly the same whether
it's operating or not, and doesn't make any sound unless something is v

Not quite - the $5 Zero is single-core. You have to go to a Pi2 or

I thought I did, but what I have is the HP 12845B Line Printer interface
card, for which I could find the documentation. Unfortunately, looking at
the schematics, it does not seem to be based on a 12566B interface. Reading
some more, it is meant for the 2607/261x series of printers, which
