Just a general bit of advice (which applies to many other systems discussed
here) for you 5620 owners -- the 5620 has a battery in it, soldered to the
logic board.  If you haven't already, remove it before it leaks and
destroys everything.

Seconded.  I've got one with the keyboard and ladybug mouse.  Worked
many years ago - and I'll never know if it has stopped working if I
don't plug it in again!

I have one too (from a friend who used to work in the Columbus Bell
Labs Operating System Group (cbosg)).  I found the read-through to be
quite illuminating, especially the detail on the keyboard circuit
(4800 bps TTL levels off one channel of the DUART).  I do have a
keyboard but this info makes it simple to contemplate a keyboard
adapter for those that do not.

Thanks for posting this, Al.
