Hi Eric
I have a pair of light boxes and a CRO on the job:
- Modular Technology MT25-IV on the PPR side,
- BlackBox TS50A on the D-9 side,
- CRO on p2 & p3
This unit says it takes and is receiving 220V power
I can see codes going to the unit, but nothing coming out

You have a good measure of my problem.
As for my expertise: its 40 years since I left schoool with a PhD in Signal
Processing, I'm currently designing with Xilinx Zynqs, and if the RS232 driver
has to be pulled there is a Pace SX-80 on the bench in the workshop.

Your link to https://www.vintagecomputer.net/fanuc/FanucManuals1788.pdf "Fanuc
System 6T-Model B" is very helpful.
The reader fitted to the PPR is a A860-0066-T001. The readers referenced in
the manual are close relatives.
Importantly, the manual provides significantly more detail on cal

Yep! That is my experience in remote mode, both driven via the panel or
remotely.
You know more than I do, I hope you get it figured out soon! The PPR is
super fun to have on the bench if you have tapes to read or especially if
you have a computer that works with paper tape.

Thanks for confirmation the reader should “just work”. Unfortunately it does
not ...
One other specific : can the PPR punch absolute binary tapes, e.g. for a
PDP-11, one potential use. Or, is it limited to “alpha numeric” ASCII. Using
the native controller, I can’t see any way of geti

Thank you for the parallel port suggestion. I followed it up by opening the
D-25 and reviewing the wiring. It looks very RS232 to me, the pin out I found
is detailed in my 10 1314A Apr 22. That the punch and reader respond to RS232
input I think settles the issue - I was briefly optimi

Yep! You can absolutely punch straight binary to tape. There is an escape,
the details escape me but are enshrined in my silly network attached paper
tape program:

My error, you said 20 mA current loop, I bowdlerised it as parallel port. I
have a punch with a parallel interface ... I can't recollect ever using a
current loop interface on equipment, although I have met many in old documents.

Thanks for the link and insight.
$11, $12, $13, $14 $1B, $93 - preface with $1B (esc) and all should be well.

22-24 Apr, as mentioned...
I should be there too.

Wow.
Thanks for an excellent trip down memory lane. One oddity, I think I was
dialing into TYMNET as when I would call in it would say.
PLEASE TYPE YOUR TERMINAL IDENTIFIER
You would type "A" for ASCII. This would print very slowly, character by
character at about 110 baud. I think it was for
