[GreenKeys] CRLF or not CRLF?

[Nick England]

Hey I'll stir the tempest in a teapot some more. It is a relatively calm
Sunday morning.
So, I think you are saying that I can use my 28RT for speed change because
it has a mechanical 60wpm serial to tape converter plus mechanical tape to
100wpm serial converter. Serial in and serial out.
But I can't use my Dovetron because it has a non-mechanical 60wpm serial
AFSK input to 100wpm serial Baudot output. It uses UARTs to do this
internally but you never see anything but serial AFSK in and serial 60ma
loop Baudot out. Whatever.

Now you got me trying to figure out how to make a mechanical Bardot-ASCII
converter.   And I don't even have an ASCII machine.

Have fun
Nick
