A Selectric printer...

I have an I/O Selectric device which is badged as, and was originally, an IBM 2970 Reservation Terminal. For better or worse, it was one of those bought up in the late 1970s by a company called 'Western I/O", based out of Scottsdale Arizona. They converted them for home use. One version used a Mot

A question for the OP. I know that since all the Snowden stuff that took place back a bit, many sites have moved from http to https. Is your ISP able to inject content into "secure" https connections? Or only http transactions, going across the wire in plain text? Jerry On 11/22/15 09:0

Uh, no. Interfacing to an HDA (especially a modern one) is not for the faint of heart. The drive controller is usually a custom (to the drive family) ASIC. In many cases the firmware and drive parameters are stored on the drive media itself. The read/write amplifiers are usually tuned to the
