I need to find a way to get RS-232 ascii out of an acient IBM system. The IBM system is 360 model 5 and it drives a 1052 console. The current interface uses a number of 48 volt leads to drive the Selectric style print ball on the console. Any help at all would be vastly appreciated. It may be possible for us to get at the data stream at the channel to selectric interface unit junction. If so, we would need to find a Tee connection and a protocol converter (to get it into ascii). If any boxes like this exist, or if you know of how one ought to be made, please let me know. Thanks in advance, Neil Kirby (...cbosgd!cbscc!nak) ...and remember, no matter where you go, there you are.
