PSYCHOMETRIST

I listened to a man, and he
Had no word to say to me:
Then unto a stone I bowed,
And it spoke to me aloud.

- The force that bindeth me so long,
Once sang in the linnet's song;
Now upon the ground I lie,
While the centuries go by!

- Linnets shall for joy atone
And be fastened into stone;
While, upon the waving tree,
Stones shall sing in ecstasy!

James Stephens, The Hill of Vision (1912)

Does anyone know the voltage/pinout for a Pace Linnet intelligent V21/23 modem?

I haven’t had much luck finding details online so far, and I’d like to see if it works!

I went poking about inside and there are two rails + ground, one seems to go straight to a 5v regulator but the other needs more tracing out.

It would save me the effort if someone knows the pinout or has one they can probe!

Whoever designed the Cardiff Bay Barrage never considered how much vegetation and human detritus would get washed down the Rivers Ely and Taff and end up lodged all around the Bay. It is especially bad in winter, after heavy rain up country, and Cardiff Council makes virtually no effort to clear it away.
Birds like this Linnet forage for seeds amongst the detritus but I hate to think what else they're ingesting.

I swear I'm going to run out of these bird images eventually... I like to do my art is series, you know? But when the series is done I move on to the next shiny subjects that catch my eye. So there will come an end to these. Soon.

This bird is a Common Linnet. But honestly, I just look at how the light colors their plumage. That's what catches my eye!

RT @Right_2Roam: Since the 1970s, the linnet population of the UK has declined by 57%, but how many of us have ever even seen a ?

How many of us knew what a linnet was until we saw this photo? And how can we care about nature in England if we are barred from 92% of it?
