Its hard to even find *pictures* of these puppies on the net. I've had searches running on ebay for over a year and they've never burped out a hit. The model I remember using was turquoise in color and had the silver square IBM model number plate on it (although I can't remember the model). It took a type ball element, and had a keyboard similar to a selectric, but the physical enclosure was all different. Behind the typewriter was a big portion of the enclosure that presumably had the control electronics. It did not have an integrated acoustic coupler, was not integrated into a desk (pictures of "Model 2741" units on the net show the integrated desk version) and ran at 134.5 baud. I was using it in 1979/1980 and even then it was old, but it was an inexpensive way to get "letter quality" output on a terminal. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>
