I seem to remember that the Tech Processor Technologies 3P+S described how
to get a model 28 running with its IO board. You'd have to check that, but
sure why not? It's just harder to do anything with a machine that's not
really made for systems that generally-speaking look for ascii and 8 bit
tape to read in programs.

Hey guys,
Further to our conversation - I was looking at this beast:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Teletype-equipment-1-model-28-writer-1-reperforater-
1-50vdc-supply-etc-/121791042544?hash=item1c5b4fd3f0:g:UR8AAOSwnDZUJHWs
Wasn't sure if it was two units? The first couple of pics look different.
Anyway, if I understood correctly, it was possible (and possibly done in
the
1970s by hobbyists) to convert one of these baudot teletypes to ASCII and
use with a computer? This one is out of my reach since the auction is pick
up only. But I kind of like the look of the Model 28 and I understand
they're pretty bulletproof once you have them working. I'm just not sure
if
this would work, and if this particular one is ASR or what, because it
mentions a reperforator and from what I read 28s that came with that had a
tape reader also?
