The mechanics in the asr was amazing as well! I even remember some stories about the guy that designed it too. To me when I hear that sound, I still think of that power.
Yanno, this is true about that power. Not from the teletype tho. It was noisy but it had that particular kind of sound. To me in the early 70's into my teen years, when I heard that connected up to a nearby college via a special modem, I knew it was a computer that the printer was connected too, but that sound gave me the impression of the power of that far away computer, not the asr33.
If I here it it now, I know something very advanced is talking to it.
When I connected it up years later tho, (that asr33 was owned by my college), to a KIM-1 with its built in teletype drivers I never felt that. Go figure. I did know tho, that the processor It was talking too, was going to change the world.
