Subject: How to use both a VT-52 and an ASR-33 on a PDP-8A
Hi,
Just looking for suggestions on how best to setup my PDP-8A so that it can
use either a VT-52 (current loop version) or an ASR-33.
One idea I have is a multi-pole switch to change the baud rate from 110 to
9600 and to also switch the xmit and rcv current loops.
Does anyone out there have any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Marc
I don't have one, but can't you attach two devices to the M8316 and just
assign program IO to the teletype and typewriter/printout to the vt52? If
the m8316 does not have multiple ports a second serial card would be used,
right? They must have this documented in the peripheral handbook that
corresponds with the 8a.
