Still have my SWTPc clone built around -83. Wire-wrapped from xerox'd original SWTPc schematics (only problem was that the schematics weren't always correct, took a while to figure out why the floppy controller didn't work :-). Never went beyond FLEX and a pair of floppies though, and cheated by buying a second hand SWTPc ct82 terminal (that's 82x16 on a 9 inch crt). That terminal together with a 300 bps modem was my usenet window for years. _ Mats Lofkvist mal@algonet.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
