I have an 11/05 with ASR 33 for I/O. I am using the M9970 console card

connection. I have loaded papertape BASIC into core (16K) and
it boots up from 000 000 to the TTY, I can type in programs, etc.
Question - I'd like to switch over to a VT 50 in 20ma mode. Not sure if
this
is possible based on what I read here:

To clarify, I meant I don't think you can interface with the vt50 with loop
20ma, so instead I wanted to split the IO between the TTY for program
storage and vt50 using M7856 serial card.
I am guessing this is the way to go, but I have never done this before.
Good plan? Anyone have this kind of set up now?
