Incidentally there are user and service manals for assorted Silent 700 machines on bitsavers here : http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ti/terminal/silent_700/ Alas I've yet to find a service manual anywhere with a complete legible set of schematics, but there's a lot of useful theory-of-operation in them. The user manual for the ASR733 explains how to do key-to-tape etc. There's also the manual for the later model 765 which used bubble memory cartridges for the ASR storage. No I don't have one of those. I do have an almost-complete ASR733 and a spare ASR chassis missing the casing. The 'almost complete' is because I am missing the (external) cable between the main backplane and the ASR backplane and the wirelist is not obvious from the manuals I have. -tony
