Subject: Need somebody to scan 5620 schematics
Date: 19 Aug 92 19:29:27 GMT
Organization: AT&T

Steve Bellovin had volunteered to scan the 5620 schematics but his 
scanner has just broken.  Would anyone else be willing to do it?  If 
so, I will mail you the schematics and then I will distribute the 
scanned files on anonymous ftp on research.att.com.  

The schematics I have are about 25 pages which I have reduced to fit
onto 8.5x14" paper.  Greg Woods (woods@Elegant.COM) told me he has
a package of 100 11x17" pages but he hasn't yet responded to my request
to send me a copy.  It sounds like his package is a superset of mine.

On other fronts, I have sent an update to the 630_pkg to the Toolchest
which includes 32ld and other stuff, but I haven't seen it show up yet.
I hope to send the 5620 software generation system source in to the
Toolchest soon where it will be available for $100.  I have got it to
compile on both suns and on System V machines.  The package will include
my latest version of Keith Muller's layers as well, just to keep the
stuff all together.  I have also put that layers up for anonymous ftp
on research.att.com in dist/pub/dmdlayers.tar.Z.

I also plan on putting up the 5620 ROM source in the Toolchest for $100
once I get the approvals.  I found the source on a backup tape.

At this point I'm not planning on putting up source for the 
character-XT or streams-XT layers.  Packaging for them would be very 
machine dependent since it includes a kernel driver, and I don't 
really want to go through the trouble of packaging.  I don't know if I 
could get the latest source for those anyway since I think they're
probably somewhere in USL.

I am looking for terminal software for a macintosh that

any companies that might have a term program that would support that
terminal in their software?  (Or any ideas on where to start looking?)

I just purchased AT&T 5620 terminal. The reason that I bought it was
simple--I liked the portrait screen. Also, the keyboard looked rather
usable (as opposed to something like the evil Zeniths). Basically, I
wanted something nice so I could work at home and this really fit the
bill.

I posted on netnews.comp.terminals about it. I had no idea what the
mouse was for, etc, etc, etc... I really knew nothing about it. I got
responses regarding layers and the like, but I still have a few
questions.

1. Is there any easy way to say "draw a line from here to here" or the
like, or would I have to go through the entire layers process?

2. What is the parallel I/O port used for? Do I have to use this if I

Well, I think that's about it. I really appreciate your help. I'm
really looking forward to using this thing to its fullest potential.
It seems that the faster the computer industry rushes forward, the
more I realize that I really don't need most of it!

HI FOLKS,

I need some help setting my terminal driver ( could be the key map).
Whenever I run emacs on any some of the keyboards such as a tvi-xxx series

press the Control-S key sequence. 

Is there any quick fix to this problem . I could always bind some other key

I know it's an *OLD* terminal, but if someone could e-mail me the

nope, it is absolutely useless.

if you give me $25, i'll come and haul it away.

8^)

actually the answer to the above is yes, yes, yes.

except that you need it connected to a host running "layers"

if you host is an AT&T 3B2, you should be in luck. i have heard of people
using layers on a SCO box as well.

layers allows you to use your 5620 with multiple windows on the screen.

i'm sure someone with more info will follow up, or send you mail.

I would like to connect a cheap barcode reader to a Wyse 160 and a 
Wyse 99GT terminal. The reader I have in mind is usually connected to
a PC compatible between computer and keybord.
The big question is:  Is it possible to connect this reader between
the terminal and the terminals keyboard. I can obtain the 5 pin DIN
(PC-AT keyboard) and the RJ-4/4 (of the Wyse keyboard) stuff, no
problem.
The only trouble I have is that I don't know anything about the Wyse's
pin assignment and whether the signals are the same as the ones on the
PC or not.

Hi.  I am looking for a way to use X applications (X term especially) over
serial lines.  Slip  is not a possibility, since the SYSADMIN says its a 
security risk, and I intend to follow his advice of not using it.

I would be using it mostly to interface with the X-Windows program on my
PC, and using a modem to call the UNIX machine, and use X apps from there.

It would also be used for allowing me to have access to my PC from on

Any suggestions, please reply via net-mail.  Thanks.

I have a ADM-3 dumb terminal and am starting to have a problem
with the monitor on  it. It is from time to time trying to
colaps from side to side. As if it was a vertical problem. Once
in a while after 10 or 20 mins. of the monitor jurking from
both left and right sides about a 1/4" to the center it went all
the way leaving a vertical line up the center of the screen
After 5 min. of being turned off it came back okay. I think this
must be a vertical chip on the monitor board but don't have and
info on the ADM-3 at all. Can some one that might know about these
ADM-3 terminals tell me what chip or cap or rerister that I might
check into to correct this problem......Thanks you

One concern I have is that the HP/apollo platforms are
a secondary port platform which could place them approx.
6 months behind the suns in the release of new versions
and of course...there will be slightly different quirks
in the software...

Anyone have experience with this?
