Hey guys, I just picked up a DATA ACCESS 1620
terminal. It looks like a
HUGE IBM Executive typewriter but, I know it's not. Anyone have any
information on this machine? Like how do I configure a serial port to talk
to it?
Here's some pictures:

Aha! This is a Diablo "teletype". I've got one, just not in that gnarly
black color (I've forgotten what color mine is). I am pretty sure I have
a manual for it but its long buried and would take an Act of Congress to
root it out within a reasonable timeframe. At some point when my library
is organized and catalogued I would be able to help you. Sorry to lead
you on like that.
