Quick question for you guys who may have worked in the General Reserve banking system until about 2000. Maybe other spots if you ever saw them.
Do any of you remember working with Comsynk LTD protocol convertor boxes?
What can you tell me about them?
I have a reason for asking but I want to see what I can find about the first.

@Recta_Pete Never had a #Atari #1200XL, but DID have an Atari 400 with the membrane "keyboard" and an #800XL later. What a fantastic piece of hardware for the time. I hope you're backing up your work, I don't see a 1050 disk drive connected? Wonder if you can connect to the internet with a 1030 #modem :) Great memories, thanks! #80stech #AtariComputers
