Hello everyone,
I just ordered my Altair Clone along with the cassette interface. While I wait, I am curious what sort of terminals will automatically work with a DB25 connector?
I missed out on the 70s (born in the early 80s), so I don't know a ton about this era. I have seen "Wyse" terminals on eBay with what appears to be DB25 connectors that
typically say "Modem" and "AUX". I have found that the keyboard connector is an RJ11 (phone style) connector for these?
I am going to initially connect to the Configuration Monitor etc using the DB25 to DB9 -> USB to my PC and use TerraTerm or something similar. But eventually, I'd like
to get a dedicated terminal.
I was hoping that the community could weigh in on what terminals or TeleTypes have worked best for you. I've seen at least 3 - 4 on eBay over the last
few weeks. I honestly know nothing about them nor if they would work with the Clone without additional work.
Regarding tape punch machines, I have seen those in several forms. I realize these things aren't cheap, but I mostly care about picking up the right one.
Also, are there other sites that have them besides eBay?
TL;DR
Looking for a list of "supported" peripherals / I/O devices. Ideally with what you might consider a fair price.
Thanks!
