TW39 Special Card - Development area
Verfasst: Sa 4. Jun 2022, 09:19
Morning everyone.
I am looking at ways of interfacing some of the British Military electronic machines to I-Telex - Take our "T1000 or TGN" teleprinters - the interfaces look to be very close to RS232 in characteristics.
I have a TW39 special board with USB - I was wondering if I could simply add a TTL-RS232 converter where the optocouplers would usually connect and that is all that would be needed - am I missing something more fundamental?
This could be a way to help get more redundant machines back to life, even if they aren't using the more usual interfaces.
Cheers
Sean
