Greetings,
Hope everyone survived Christmas!

This is sorta OT, but I don't know who else to ask.
As a project, I'd like to configure an old IBM Selectric as a computer 
printer/teletype terminal.

I know some companies modified the typewriters into terminals  back in the 
early '80's. One such enterprise was the Data-Trans 1000 which converted the 
IBM into a 300 baud ASCII terminal.

Actually, there is an old ad for one currently on epay
190361445421

Anyone happen to know any possible source for the hardware/software to do 
the conversion??

Thanks, all the best,
Keith ve3ts
