Is there 42 Volts on both sides of the 42V fuse? Seems odd that there's 42V to the switcher but no voltage at the other end but the fuse is intact. Normally when the switcher blows, the main switching transistor shorts and takes out the supply fuse. The power supply transistors are on the b

It would depend on what you wanted to emulate. The 'logic' you see in the relays and here https://goo.gl/photos/4sDv7MGRvknugiAGA Would be very easy. The logic is to handle auto answer, carrier detect, motor control, local vs remote loop etc. All the things that were miniaturized by Penrill and

The C version came later with the introduction of ASCII ( 5 to 8 bits ) and 110 baud. So it does not go back to the 50's. I do not know when the C version was released. The ASCII Teletype Model 35 was introduced in 1961. -pete On Tue, May 9, 2017 at 6:47 AM, Paul Koning wrote: > > > On May
