>> Recyclers claiming to have [SS20 VSIMMs] cancel my orders and >> there's been nothing on eBay in over a year, [...] :-( I have only two, as far as I know, and they're in live use. I don't know what I'll do if either one breaks. But it occurs to me to wonder, is enough known about them for someone to build a workable replacement? With the various tech advancements since they were first done, it seems likely to me that it is just a question of finding (or reverse-engineering) enough documentation to figure out the interfaces - has anyone looked into that? As a possible alternative, I have, elselist, seen someone write of building completely new SBus hardware that, among other things, I *think* included a framebuffer. I don't recall too many details, but, if it ever reaches the point where a small fab run could be done, I'm sure they'd be popular with people like you (and, if documented enough, maybe even me). I'll ask after its current state. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse%rodents-montreal.org@localhost / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
