Saw that post. Brave man, but also an enterprising one. Do you have
the set of R-390A TMs yet, and the Y2K R-390A manual? 

If you need the R-390A TMs, you can go to LOGSA, or you can do the 
easy thing and get them off my site: <http://mikea.ath.cx/R-390A>.
It's case-sensitive until I get in and set up some lowercase links.

Different. 

The unbalanced connector is a "C", which is like a BNC on too much 
steroids. The balanced connector is fairly common and easily procured,
since IBM uses it on S/400 minicomputers.
