1930s Linux Teletype Raspberry Pi Official Magazine Commenters requested that we use our restored vintage 1930 model 15 teletype as a terminal for linux. Fans of this linux terminal, created by curiousmarc, can also say that it smells nicer and feels better than using a graphical pc. this beautiful machine takes a model 15 teletype machine built in 1930.

Using A 1930 Teletype As A Linux Terminal R Italyinformatica While this is undoubtedly pretty cool, i can't help but wonder what linux could have looked like today if we didn't have the baggage of maintaining backwards compatibility like this and basically dumping a lot of technical debt in favor of actual progress. I really want to try a paper terminal experience, mainly to experience using a line based text editor to see how having printed output (which you can tear off and keep on your desk for reference) differs from doing it in a scrolling terminal.

The big moment came when he used the teletype to log into linux on a (more or less) modern machine.

The big moment came when he used the teletype to log into linux on a (more or less) modern machine. R marc verdiell, a.k.a. curiousmarc, has turned a 1930s teletype machine into a linux terminal. to do that, he had to make circuitry and programming that translates five bit baudot code into eight bit ascii code. A task like that is a perfect job for an arduino — [marc] put a mega to work on that — but the interface of the teletype proved a bit more challenging. designed to connect two or more units together over phone lines, the high voltage 60 ma current loop interface required some custom hardware. We used to have a sun workstation lab in college with an old dec writer hooked up as our printer for outputting our programming homework back in the day… sometimes people would output their e mail to the wrong printer and it would come out there. After getting requests for using their newly restored, vintage 1930 model 15 teletype as a terminal for linux, curiousmarc decided to make the best of the quarantine by doing just that .
