IIRC the computer museum of the University Stuttgart (Germany) has
interfaced a similar machine (Autotypist 735) to a pdp8/L.
I finally got my MC72 MagCard Selectric to Berlin but still had no
time to play with it.

The auction calls it a Selectric model 731, and it's got a 55 pin round
"Mil Spec"-style connector on it.
At this connector all control and status lines (relay magnets and
contacts should be available). Older threads should have more
information about interfacing IBM selectrics to a micro (Byte Mag).
If you don't find them in the archives I can look them up.
Does anyone know anything about these? The only reference I've found via
Google is to using this model of Selectric on a PDP-6.

Hope this helps
