I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a TTY/TDD card or
RS-232 i nterface for my computer.  I don't want to spend @$250 for
something when I can use the hardware in my computer.  I can write
software to make it work better.  My old TTY is broke it is about
16 years old, An old AT&T (Bell systems) TDD.  (when will they get
the name right TTY).  An XT card or RS-232 will work.  It shouldn't
be hard to convert the 5 bit to 8 bit and feed it as a comm port
the b sor  xxx the software could do any translation from there.
Basic interpeter on original PC fast enough for that.  Been
llooking but all I found was schemat ics/program for original PC
(hooked to the cassette port) no chance here.  Have Amiga 2000 with
PC Bridge card.  (Hardware so it can run PC software and even
cards).
