I'll offer a suggestion that if your SD card *must* be a significant
distance from its host, that you employ a small MCU at the SD card and
use a more noise-immune protocol to transmit data to the host.
Small MCUs today are very inexpensive.

again, I don't know the circuit, but I have personally witnessed this behavior
on my PDP-8/e where a 7474 flip flop chip was bad. The input looked great and
the output was "half baked"
I'll bet that flop was a Fairchild.

Does anyone still use these on actual terminals?
I have some guys coming to scrounge on Saturday, and they want them for is

If you need some for actual use, please let me know the exact model you want
so it does not get parted out.

In mid-June, I am planning a trip to Mountain View for two days to visit the

I plan on flying out of Portland early AM on June 14, checking into hotel, then

I will go back to the hotel for the evening, and return t
