Hmmmmmm.

No one seems to remember the Model 29.

It looked like a 28, smelled like a 28, had parts that were 
interchangeable with a model 28,

But was in fact a machine that responded to some variant of EBCDIC.

Those who own DataTek 9600's can tell you there is an EBCD position 
on the Mode Selector Switch.

The Museum of Communications was given a model 29 typing unit, and 
two or three Model 29 Keyboards.

They've yet to do anything with them.
