I haven't a clue. There are almost 200 boxes of computer stuff to
sort. If I find anything it's yours.

Great, Thanks. Do you happen to have a manual for
the 350? If could I
get a photocopy? Or borrow it long enough for Al to scan it?

Over the next couple of months, as I upack my
collection after my move,
I'll look on the off chance that I didn't chunk the module. If I find
it, it's yours for the shipping costs.

Then it sounds like it will do what I want IF I
can find the messanger
module. Was the RS-232 two way and use both the printer (output) and
keyboard (input) or was it strickly for printing? Can you tell me briefly
what the module looked like?

I owned one of those in the mid eighties. It is
not a serial port.
There was a "Messenger Module" that sold for an additional $450 that had
both a serial and parallel port that attached to the DB-9F on the
typewriter. I threw out my messenger module last spring :-( as my
ex-wife kept my typewriter.
