[GreenKeys] ASR35 keyboard doesn't work like I want it to...

[Bryan Brodie]

Don,

The current loop converter has dip switches to allow me to set parity,
etc. I played with it quite a bit (no pun intended) and finally got
output to the printer, but it is entirely possible that I have not
connected the correct wires in the correct sequence. Getting this
working is my weekend project.

Here's a link to the device specs and a manual, such as it is . . .

I'm not sure about the exact details of this ASR35, but the typing
unit is a model 35H according to the serial number plate.

I recall George saying it was a later manufactured model - it really
is a creampuff of a machine. I believe it was removed from a phone
company switching center.

Any suggestions regarding other things to look for are always appreciated.

Thanks,

Bryan Brodie
