Can someone post a side by side comparison of Type I and II connectors?? I have the 5118, 8485, 8412, 8437, and they all have the same connector ends. I'm trying to figure out the difference. Phil: I'll try to get you the mm dimensions for the (...) (26 years ago, 15-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Welcome to Boston!!! (...) The easiest (and cheapest) way in my opinion is to take the Subway (We call it the "T" ). It is very safe and easy to use as long as you don't have a problem or fear of Subway's (Some, like my father do so I just thought (...)

Thanks Rob, The type I and II connectors can be seen at: (URL) flex cables are also shown with the "pssible" lengths for the 8485.

Michael: If you're going to be traveling around Boston by "T," you'll want to get a day pass. (A one-day, unlimited use pass is $5.50--a very good deal. 3-day passes are also available.) You can grab these usually at any subway station, although (...) (26 years ago, 15-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I have my doubts; tokens are cheap. You have to take seven rides/day for that to make sense. And that's a lot of riding on the T. (26 years ago, 15-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
