some local folks have picked up a few of these, so I thought I'd ask
if anyone has any documentation beyond what I put up on bitsavers yesterday
they are modified Selectric mechanisms with serial I/O and paper tape reader/punches

OH, WOW! I had one of these in about 1979-1980. It had all
discrete transistor logic (mostly just to convert between
EIA and the selectric codes.) I'm not sure I EVER had full
schematics, but I did get it running as a computer printer
on my CP/M system. A quick look did not turn up any info on
it, though.

The book 'The Selectric Interface A Hands-on Approach' by George Young covers the
Dura 1041 and has a few chapters covering detailed instructions, schematics and PROM
codes to interface the 1041 to a microcomputer. I'd say definately worth finding a
copy
if you have a 1041.
Steve.
