No, the LA180 is a different beast. First of all, it prints
unidirectionally, while the LA120 prints bidirectionally. There is a
keyboardless version of the LA120, and I have one here...It just an
LA120-xx, I will have to check the suffix later.
Would you be interested in setting up a TELEX network with me
sometime? I'm betting you have the equipment...;)
(mind, I don't have a teletype for that)
That could probably be fun. What might be even more fun (for people
like
us anyway) is to get some TTYs connected to our local
hosts and tool
around
on HECnet in hardcopy.
I recently got my Teletype ASR33 working against TOPS-20 on SIMH. It really
was a trip down memory lane. I am in the process of getting some more
ribbons, need to make a few adjustments and then I can get some good hard
copy.
