[cctalk] Re: 14 DZ11's for sale/whatever

The performance of the DZ11 is not good.  It did an interrupt for every character, just like a DL11. The Able DMAXes blocked until a carriage return and then did a DNA, IIRC. Not sure about the DH and DHV11 - its been a long time.  We used Able DMAXes on the Canadian NAPLPS system, named Telidon, but that was back in the 1200/300 baud days! However for vintage computer purposes, that's probably not a concern. cheers, Nigel Nigel Johnson, MSc., MIEEE, MCSE VE3ID/G4AJQ/VA3MCU Amateur Radio, the origin of the open-source concept!
