I'd prefer
to take the raster image and save it in a suitable file=20
format (TIFF?) for putting on a PC and printing on any old printer.=20
This would make it much more flexible, and I think it would be of=20
benefit to do so.
If a graphics file is the end format, it seems to me the easy way out
Is to use a modern PC running Tek 4010/4014 emulation software (anything
From MS-Kermit to xterm) sniffing the serial
traffic and just do
screen dumps from there.
The 4631 wsn't only used with Tekky storage terminals. Pgilip mentioned
the 4051/4053 machines. And I am prerry sure my large-screen Tekky
analogue XY stroage display has the 4631 connector on the back. In those
cases, at lleast, the interfce would be useful.
Anyway, if you take your comment to its logical (?) conclusion,you might
as well emulate everythign and not run the old iron at all. I don't think
some of us would go along with that.
