Oh my! This brings back memories from the 1980s. I worked at a publishing company and had
many dealings with a 202. I suspect that our travails were increased by the equipment we
used to drive our 202, a DG Eclipse S/130 and a serial connection that used the paper tape
reader interface.

I recently came across this:

It's been there for a while but I hadn't noticed it. It describes the
trials and tribulations of getting the Mergenthaler 202 up and running
at Bell Labs and is very interesting reading.
I have already requested that they archive their work with TUHS and
gotten a positve response about this from David Brailsford. In the
meantime, it's fun reading!
Enjoy,
Arnold
