Teletype KSR-33
 

A very quick question - as I don't have one of these how does it react to being sent lower case characters from a computer does
1. Print a space
2. Print nothing
3. Print the upper case character
4. Something else

I have looked at the documentation and it is not much help. If anyone has one of these I wonder if they could let me know.

Many thanks.

As far as I know it will print the equivalent upper case character

I used to have access to an ASR-33 which is basically the same thing with a paper tape punch/reader and that would print the uppercase of lowercase letters sent to it.

The 'typing unit' is much the same between the KSR and ASR versions so both should show the same behaviour. An ASR will punch a received lower case character as lower case (all bits on the tape are the bits it received) and will send a lower case character from tape as lower case.

I have a couple of Model 33 ASR's here (one Teletype, one Data Dynamics 390, which is the same mechanism) along with the manuals, but neither have been run for some years so I don't want to turn them on without going over the lubrication instructions which will take a bit of time. I can do it if necessary though.
