Peripherals

Another topic one can't write anough about. I don't have enough information to make a decent page, so any comments would be appreciated! The list is now quite short for how long it could be, and doesn't contain the information I'd like to see here (not enough numbers, specs...). Please help me!

Teletype consoles, printers:

ASR33: Automatic Send and Receive. "The" classic teletype, with upper-case only. Printing speed was 10 cps due to the fact, that it was almost fully mechanical. Data speed was 110 bps (it required two stop-bits, so each char takes 11 bits on the line). It could have an optional papertape reader/puncher on the left side.
ASR38: The lower/upper-case version of the ASR33
LA30 DECwriter: 30 cps matrix-consoleprinter
LA36 DecWriter II: 9-pin matrix-consoleprinter. It came in receive/send and receive-only versions. Speeds: 30 cps/300 bps.
LA100 LetterWriter: 240 cps in draft-mode, 30 cps in high quality. 2 built-in fontset, graphics.
LA120 DecWriter III: 180 cps printer, 75-9600 bps data
LP11: high-speed lineprinter, 1100 line/min
LS11: normal lineprinter, 60 line/min
LV11: high-speed printer/plotter, 122880 dots/min

CRT terminals:

VT05: One of DEC's first CRT-terminals, with a futuristic housing.
VT52: A classic video-terminal, with cursor-, numeric and function keys.
VT55: A VT52 with built-in graphics printer
VT62: A VT52 with reverse video
VT100: Another "the". It became a de facto standard. 24x80 or 14x132 characters, detachable 83-key keyboard.
VT103: A VT100 with LSI-backplane in the box.
VT125: A VT100 with graphical capabilities.
VT220: A CRT-terminal with 12" screen, and VT52/100 emulation. 80x24 or132x24 char resolutions, 105 keys, 75-19200bps, printerport.
VT240: 12" monochrome graphical terminal, with a resolution of 800x240.
VT241: 13" color version of the 240

Card readers/punchers:

CR11: It could read 80 column cards at 300/minute speed
CD11: high-speed (1200 cards/min) card reader
PC11/PR11: high-speed papertape reader/puncher, 300 cps reading speed, 50 cps punching

Magnetic tape drives:

TU10: Classic big tape driver, 5-20 MB on 2400 ft 0.5" wide tape
TU55: Designed for the DecTape magnetic media, to store 250K of block information on a 1" tape. These tapes were handled just like a disk drive with a 'normal' file system.
TU56: An enhanced version of the TU55. Another picture
TU58: This drive used the DecTape-II tape cartridge. It could store 256K with 800bpi density. Average access time was 9.3 sec.
TU60 (DECcasette): It was designed to replace papertapes. The tape-media looks like the one used with audio casettes, but it uses a different metal-oxyde.
TU80, TU81, TU81+: Big 9-track tape-drivers for heavy backup duties.

TK50: A driver unit for a 0.5" magnetic media, that could store 96 MB of data.
TK70: The enhanced version of the TK50. It can read TK50 tapes, but can't write on them. The drive is still used in many VAX-systems.

Floppy-meghatók:

RX01: Dual 8" floppy unit. One disk holds 250K data.
RX02: Successor of the RX01, with double data density.
RX50: 5.25" 0.8 MB
RX33: 5.25" 1.2 MB
