I have a couple of LA-36s DECWriters that can use either RS-232 or
current-loop. When I got my first LA-36, I owned a printed circuit shop. After looking at the RS-232 to current
loop adapter board, it
looked
Watch out, this fooled me once years ago... The RS232 card is, indeed, a 1488 and a 1489, but
it's not going to a
current loop on the other side.
Ah so, thanks for that info! My recollections are that current loop is
available on the LA-36 and I was *assuming* that is where the signal source
came from to the RS232 card.
