2025-01-25 16:58:38 +0000 UTCWhen I worked for a financial services company in the early 2000's, they had three mainframe computers, Frodo, Gandalf, and Golum, all connected via Token Ring.

2025-01-25 06:57:15 +0000 UTCI don't, I just learned about those! I'm hoping I can get by without one, but we'll see

2025-01-25 06:18:55 +0000 UTCDo you have a port reset tool? It's a little big bitter than two 9v batteries end to end. Sometimes it's needed to reset the ports on an unpowered IBM 8228 (?from memory?) MAU ports.

2025-01-25 05:04:45 +0000 UTCNot yet! But I have another identical card. Also some folks said it should "just work" anyway, so we'll see.

2025-01-25 05:00:23 +0000 UTCWow now this has me excited. Were you able to fix that faulty card for the Cisco router?
