Just posting here in case anyone not on other forums I'm on sees this and knows something about these.
I picked up a HAL DS-3100 ASR terminal. My understanding is these are RTTY devices intended for teletype/radio use. It is ASCII compatible and in fact I can select ASCII and baud rates from a menu. It has a 25 pin male 'MODEM' port on the back. I can't find it now but somewhere I read it complied with an RS-232 standard. I tried hooking it up to my PC with a null modem cable, but couldn't get either to produce anything on their screens. Anyway, just a shot in the dark in case any of you remember these things. I'm not really into HAM stuff, but it's a cool little terminal and I was hoping it could be used/adapted to other tasks. Brad
