Device for the Deaf (TDD) many years ago I made up a ISA bus card with the
same function as the cassette port for a gentleman that wanted to move on
from a 5150 but still needed the cassette port for a TDD device.
Interesting!
Was that stand-alone and compatible with the ordinary TDD/TTY units?
(and coupled to a modem)
Or was that solely for communicating with other 5150s?
Or was that to use the 5150 as a KSR terminal for a TDD/TTY handling the
