Does anyone know what a Kinetic Systems Corp model D1391 dual wide Q-bus
board is?
It has two 40 pin connectors, they look kind of like the M3107 (8 port
async) but they connect to resistor packs so I'm thinking either a parallel
port or bus extender. There are several DS8833 chips (Nat'l Semi) and what
looks like a CSR switch pack. An M7951 clone perhaps?

LexiDatas are more of a RGB separate sync monitor. Very similar chassis.
I bought and sold one of the Sun 1s in 1988. Got it surplus from a local
computer dealer, I think it was a lease return, and sold it for $500 to the
computer department of Stanford University. They were still using some of
them.
Thanks for the pictures. It brought back memories.

Hello all, I've got a VT340 that is very fuzzy. (blurry) I'd like to try
and refocus it but I don't have the maintenance manual for this terminal.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start (well I'm going to start
by seeing if the yoke has slipped backward on the tube neck, but other than
that)

Umm, this story is also something around 20 or more years old, too, based in
my recollection in the universal jfvts (Jennings Family Vehicle Time Scale).
We had our Volkswagon Quantum then, meaning I was at most 14 or so, and the
story was old already, I think I happened in the mid-80's...

Much more likely Pertec than SCSI. Original SCSI, and SASI before it, are
50-wire interfaces. However, if he means that an external box had 2 x
50-pin connectors, it could be SCSI; they usually have two sockets so you
can daisy-chain them, or plug in a terminator on the last box.

Yes, there was but I don't remember who made it. I had a customer who bought
tape drives from me. He brought over a PC (probably a 286) with an ISA card
Pertec interface. We tested drives with it till he found the ones he liked.
Worked well.

I now have about 50 parts spoken for, which leaves about 7. A
couple people have asked for 10 chips, and if there's still demand after
I run out I might ask them if they'd be satisfied with fewer so more
people can get some.
I sorted all the parts and it turns out that five of them are 1802CE
and the rest are BCE. Does anybody know the difference? My databook
doesn't cover the BCE. Some people have asked for some CE and some BCE
parts and it would be nice to know how to divide them up fairly (and
whether or not I would want to keep any of the CEs for myself :)
I probably won't get around to dividing them up and packaging them
till some time early next week. At that point, I'll get back in touch
with everybody on the list to confirm and work out the shipping and
payment details.

In fooling with my Mac PM7100av and AudioVision monitor I noticed that
the Apple ADB connector and the standard s-video connector are the same.
Any data on this ? And does it mean that a cheap s-video cable could be
used in place of relatively expensive(Apple like IBM ain't cheap) ADB cables ?
