Ham Radio, Jun 1976, p. 77. (new products announcement)
This was Computronics second attempt at a CW keyboard, following the apparently unsuccessful model 400 (1965, 1971). This 1976 announcement makes reference to three other models, but provides no details.
The following description is taken directly from the 1976 new products announcement (with some light editing):
The Morsetyper model BDC computer terminal can store over six "Quick Fox" sentences or 256 "V" characters in its five registers. It uses this memory capacity in two modes, QSO or QST, at speeds from 5 to 200 wpm. Both modes allow random speed type-in while the machine outputs uniformly at any set speed; touch-in slow, output fast, or type-in fast, output slow.
A 56 key Touch-coder keyboard provides 36 alpha-numerics, 8 punctuation. 7 pro-signs, 5 pro-words, and error; there is automatic spacing between characters as well as between words. The monitor includes an internal sine wave oscillator with speaker, phones, and volume control.
Distress messages or bulletins can be endlessly repeated, making the machine the solid-state equivalent of a tape recorder but with the advantage of instant reprogramming and lower cost. LED status lights show store mode, store, full, run message. The beeper tone indicates store full and monitor.
The Morsetyper comes complete with lap mounting holders so you can send from your easy chair.
No subsequent advertising has been found, so it seems likely that no Morsetypers were ever sold.
