I said "ASCII", but I don't mean the '28 now honors ASCII63 codes, just
that it's got the printable character set. I don't know what the
mappings are, figs and ltrs are still needed of course to reach the
codes, just that all or most of the printable characters are there --
!@#$%^&*()_+=-][;' etc. I just haven't mapped it yet. The Los Alamos lab
had a lot of weird stuff made, like custom-code IBM card readers and all
that. Their budgets were planetary...
I have a couple of odd typeboxes, I'll at least dig out the stamped
labels on them.
PS: I moved my lab this past weekend (ugh) and uncovered all my tty
stuff. I have most of if not all of a Teletype Corp employee? stuntbox
training course, some original copies (not mimeo, and predating xerox)
as well as a xerox of some material. If it's of critical interest I
could at least index it. Probably a pile an inch high of sheets.
