[GreenKeys] ASCII replacing Baudot

[Nick England]

I was only thinking about comms stuff in the field or shipboard. But you of
course are right about computer systems.

Can’t imagine how long a M33 would last shipboard! M40 and other VDT gear
was also installed shipboard in the mid-1980s, but communication was via
Baudot.

Was AUTODIN ASCII?
