Selectric Terminal

IIRC the computer museum of the University Stuttgart (Germany) has
interfaced a similar machine (Autotypist 735) to a pdp8/L.

I finally got my MC72 MagCard Selectric to Berlin but still had no
time to play with it.

At this connector all control and status lines (relay magnets and
contacts should be available). Older threads should have more
information about interfacing IBM selectrics to a micro (Byte Mag).
If you don't find them in the archives I can look them up.
