Hi,
I'm looking for the schematic for a PA68-F. It's a two high collection of
single width M series modules that implements the paper tape high speed
reader/punch control for positive bus machines.
I found a Typeset 8 document that describes the maintenance for the beast

Hi,
Just looking for suggestions on how best to setup my PDP-8A so that it can
use either a VT-52 (current loop version) or an ASR-33.
One idea I have is a multi-pole switch to change the baud rate from 110 to

Hi,
I've finally gotten a hold of a restored ASR-33. One question I have
concerns the paper tape reader.
My recollection of using this TTY in the 70's was that the reader switch
