Gil please don't tackle all these questions at once, but when you get time:
What does this mean: "I patched the kb/sel in series for half-duplex testing
with an external loop supply and current limit resistor." So the loop is
external? What do these loops look like, do they eat much, do they come in packs
or flocks? Do they plug in under my table into the large I think red and
green phone plugs? I have found my selector magnet thanks to you, and when I run
the machine and tap the moving part like I am sending CW random keys start
printing away like a brand new typewriter, so the loop if I can capture one will
make this magnet sing!
Here is another one: "clickety-clack! Adding loop power (kb and printer in
series....????????????) stopped the chattering."
And finally: "Watching the M15 print is most satisfying. Now I want to set
up Bill Buzbee's Heavy Metal program to automatically print selected emails."
I want fun stuff too, but how did you interface one of those rare long haired
hard to catch current loops to your computer? Having way too much fun on the
desert. Jan KD6EMW
