I have finally acquired a Teletype ASR33 for my PDP-11s (/20 and /10).
Is there any chance of damaging the console port of my PDP-11/10 when
I connect directly to the ASR33? Should I use some sort of electrical
isolator board between the TTY and the port? Is there any way of
testing the ASR33 prior to connecting to the 20mA port? The TTY seems
to work fine in local mode. I have not yet tried line mode yet.
What is the connection diagram between the 9 pin terminal strip on the
TTY to the DEC console port?
Thanks for any information you can provide.
