About 1976 we purchased a computerized weighting system for our dyehouse,
it was a HP 9815S with 3 scales connected by RS232.
The protocols were printed using a teleprinter. There was a tiny
microcomputer connected to the HP 9815S for translating the ASCII output
of the 9815S into the code the teleprinter could understand.
IIRC, this tiny microcomputer was a KIM-1 (or something alike), it didn't
look really professional.

My first programming experience was with this HP 9815S, but I never
looked into the hardware and software used to get the output to the
teleprinter. I don't even know what code was used with this teleprinter,
I only know it wasn't ASCII.

Helmut.
