A quick question--can you hook a Friden Flexowriter to
a modern
computer? I'm not afraid to put together some sort of
interface/converter, but I haven't really found any information about
that kind of thing... if anyone here has experience with one of these,
your input would be greatly appreciated.
Have you consulted
<http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/frieden/flexowriter/Patent_2700446_Jan55.pdf>
which goes into detail about the mechanism and circuitry?
I'm not sure what the electronic interface looks like, but there is
some circuit diagrams in that PDF. Have you googled around?
Wikipedia has an entry for the flexowriter with what looks like some
links to more detailed information.
