Subject: Need docs for Burroughs term
I've just picked up an old Burroughs terminal, model# appears to be
MT-985, and I'm having trouble finding documentation for it. It came
with a manual for the ET-1100 model which provides some clues, but the
key sequences to get into the setup for baud rate, etc appear to be
different.
Anyone have any experience with these? It's a cute little terminal
and the keyboard has a key lock on it - never seen that before.
----------------- Reply:
Can't help with the MT-985, but if it's anything like its TD700/800
predecessors it probably had various interface options; the TD's
could be configured for RS-232/BDI async, sync, IBM bisync or
multipoint, and could also have cassette drives, a mag card reader
and/or a printer attached.
In case anyone has one, I do have tech manuals and some parts
for the TD700 & TD800 terminal series.
