Sergio,
This one was completely dead so I've torn into it. I has two RS-232 interfaces.
They're on the 2nd board from the bottom. Found a bad power switch and bad power lamp
in this one. I don't know it everything is working properly but it at least makes
noises now when I press various buttons. (An operator's manual would be handy about
now!) It would interesting to have one with HP-IB interface! I'm thinking about
putting this on the HP 1000 that I just got so HP-IB interface would be perfect. I've
never even heard of a reader/punch with a HP-IB interface.
I didn't find much on the net except re-sellers that want outragous prices for
their's but I did find this <http://members.tripod.com/facit_facit/>.

I think this is the model that I get some months ago

Mine has HP-IB interface, but this interface comes in a board that could
be swapped for another one with RS-232 interface.
I couldn't put the machine to work again by diverse reasons, but it appears
to be in good shape (and oiled).
Thanks and Greetings
Best Regards
Sergio

Pulled this out of deep storage this past week
but it seems to be dead.
Does anyone have any info on these? Specs, pinouts, general
info, service
info, anything?
