I never bothered with those. Serial printing can be configured on any LAT
capable terminal server.

I've got a beautiful LA120 but I figured that would be nice for a console.
I do have a DEC LetterPrinter LA-210 with both options of friction feeder
and tractor feeder. I used to use it to print carbonless invoice forms.
I have a DEC LNCO2 which, if I can get some consumable for it, would be a
nice laser printer to demo. It printed gorgeous 2400DPI color. I put it
on mothballs when Hopelessly Pathetic decided their printers were better
and stopped supporting the old DEC laser printers.

Hello,
My connect (formely DECUS) membership has expired, and when I try to renew it I have seen the ?guest? membership option (the free one is gone). Is there any other organization whose members are elegible to obtain PAKS under the Hobbyist program?

Hey Steve, your better side! :P That photo cuts off most of my ponytail.

It was named after a star in Beta Centauri. ;)

When I arrived, there was a sparsely populated DEChub90 with a DECrepeater,
IIRC (maybe it was a DECswitch) and a DECserver-90TL. Steve was working on
getting the server image onto on of Dave's systems to MOP load it. Because
I live close, I offered to run home and bring a couple of DECserver-90Ms as
they can boot off of their own flash. I also brought some tools as my case
with my VLC. Tools as I offered to make people MMJ cables once again and I
threw in the VLC just in case. The in case proved to be a smart move. My
VLC had VMS V7.3, DECnet/V and TCPIP Services, as well as a stockpile many
MOP load images. Plugged in the VLC, booted it, defined the DECserver-90TL
by its ethernet address, and voila!

I don't remember. My mind's a blank.

I just scored a TSZ08 but it's differential SCSI. Amazingly, I found
a DWZZB-AA
SE to DE converter a few years ago, which I am hoping still works (I'll
find out soon). The issue is that this is the first time I played with DE
SCSI and have nothing else.
Question 1. Anyway on know what the DEC cable number was for a 68 pin
(male each end) SCSI cable? I think its BN31G-02 [i.e. this has the right
connects on the end]. Any one know if that is correct. I think I have
source for a couple of them. Also, I assume I need a differential SCSI
terminator [everything I have now is SE]. Any idea what the DEC # was for
the proper terminator.
What I believe I need to need to connect it is:
SCSI Single Ended (SE) HBA with 68 pin female: <--- 68 pin male
-------------- 68 pin male -> DWZZB-AA SE side with 68 pin female
TSZ08 Differential (DE) SIDE A with 68 pin female: <--- 68 pin male
-------------- 68 pin male -> DWZZB-AA A DE side with 68 pin female
TSZ08 Differential (DE) SIDE B with 68 pin female: Differential SCSI
Terminator 68 pin male
