Does anyone know how to connect an ASR-33 Teletype to a DG Nova 2? Also, does

        Well, lessee here... I used to fix 33's, and 28's, and 35's, and most
other machines in the 'Teletype' line before they went all electronic.

        Most 33's had a 20mA current-loop interface. Said interface was usually
full-duplex: One loop for TX, the other for RX (four wires total), though
this was not always the case.

        Some of the later models had an option for an RS232 interface, though it's
been too many years since I've seen one to guess at its composition.

        I hope that helps. Unfortunately, I know nothing about the DG.
