Well, there are Qume and Diablo. Diablo was bought by
Xerox, so some of them carry that label.
Most of the stand-alone versions had serial (RS-232) ASCII
interface.

I remember in '79 a KSR Diablo was the dream KSR printing terminal
and cost like 3 grand? Oh how we used to dream of having one of
these back then!
We do have one in the museum's collection... although have not attempted
to power up to use.

Chuck,
True, the 1620 Model 1 Model B typewriter (1st gen). The 1620 Model 2
used a Selectric (2nd gen). We're using the 3rd generation IBM electric
typewriter (Wheelwriter) with the 1620 Jr. (3rd gen 1620?). [I know
it's a stretch.]
The issue is that for Jr. we needed a reliable, robust,

Aw, that's too bad! The original Model I (CADET) 1620 had a console
typewriter (was it based on the IBM Model B electric?) that gyrated
enough, particularly on carriage returns, that made you wonder if it was
going to fly to pieces at any time.

Dave,
I'd love to see the keyboard and printed output; unfortunately, the
listserv strips out anything but test. Got a link?

I've been adding a few more blog posts, and put up the first one on what
(to me) makes TeleVideo actually interesting - their MmmOST client/server
operating system. I hope to get more up soon, but I have a (somewhat
lengthy) introduction based on what I've been able to learn about MmmOST:

Thanks, Dave.
Was the group mark on the Model 2 typewriter keyboard? I don't recall
it from the CADET. It was associated with the 1311 disk option anyway.
How does one print a flagged numeric blank? (the "dump numeric"
instruction prints it)?
Thanks,
Chuck
