[GreenKeys] Connecting a Model 14?

[tony.podrasky]

Hey Danny et al;

Welcome to the GREEN KEYS group.

Are you aware that computers work with 8-bit data while
the model 15 and 14 Teletypes work with 5-bit data?

I have a 28-KSR and 28-RO connected to my computer BUT I
had to write a program to translate 8-level to 5-level and
5-level to 8-level code.

UE,
K2EAA - TONY
