Some early computer buffs *did* wire those beasts up for printer use
in the very early days. BYTE magazine I believe. UPPER CASE ONLY OF COURSE
but better than nothing back then. I would imagine these are of interest
to some other g33ks too. It would be hard those with a 33 or 35 I'd think.
Don't forget the model 28 which is probably the most popular 5-level unit
that many hams ended up with-- and there is the model 32 which looks
exactly like a model 33 except that the 32 is baudot and the 33 is ascii.
The PROM monitor in the Altair 680b supports a BAUDOT console and the
board provids a 60mA current loop interface to connect it up-- for both
in and out... and you can load Motorola S-record formatted binaries
from your 5-level paper tape reader should you have
one.
