I regret that when I obtained my Straight 8 system in
the early 80's I
chose not to take the ASR-35. In retrospect this was a huge mistake. My

and would be difficult to maintain. I used my Processor Tech Sol 20 as the
terminal because it has a current loop interface and could operate at 110
baud.
A glass terminal is not the same experience as a teletype.

If this is the correct image I see a small round screen and if memory
serves me a line
like a heart beat monitor. Fi I am correct how in the world would you read
this.
