LGP-30!!! How are ya old timer! <grin>
The last LGP-30 I saw was in an engineering place in Vancouver. It was being
dismantled and sent to the computer museum at NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute
of Technology). At the time, CDC still had spares for it, and they were being
scrapped, so I managed to lay my hands on the Frieden Flexowriter, built a
driver and interface for it, and hooked it up for a brief time to my home built
computer. Neat stuff. It brings back memories (and not of the rotating drum
kind.. <grin>)
As for PRT: codes, the RKM details the codes you need to send to PRT: in
order to do any functions supported by your driver. If you don't have a copy of
it, there is a file in either DL 10 or DL 9 that has a fairly complete listing
of them. Try a BRO/KEY:PRT* or BRO/KEY:ESC
