Many many thanks for the very informative guides and posts on this forum posted by Gradius2, fatlip, et al. Was successful in reviving my 'SeaBrick' 7200.11 using a Mini USB Adapter from Arduino - http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/MiniUSB which uses the FT232RL chip from FTDI, and the step by step instructions from Gradius2's guide first time through without any problems at all. 8thDwarf
