Subject: Strange hardware for the eight...
To: pdp8-lovers@MC.lcs.mit.edu
Message-Id: <900212173237.19.D89.JOHNNY-BILLQUIST@AIDA.CSD.UU.SE>

Hi. I need help to identify some hardware I have recieved.
It is made by a company called ''Tennecomp Systems inc''
for the pdp8. The sub system consists of 7 flipchip cards,
which is inserted in the Omnibus. It should be connected
to some external equipment, but I don't have that, and don't
have the faintest idea what is should be connected to.
There are several connectors, which are marked. Here is a
list of what I have found out by reading...

Connectors:	Display	(Centronics conn.)
		Printer/Keyboard (Centronics conn.)
		Control panel (Centronics conn.)
		Tape control (Canon D-sub)

Cards:		Autoloader (has a stereoplug conn)
		Printer and keyboard interface
		Autochem control panel
		Autochem ADC and control interface
		Tape controller (3 cards)

The tape controller is connected with a very special top end
connector, apart from sitting on the bus. This top connector
entirely covers the card, and is wire wrapped, and has a cover
above the wrap.

I am very confused about this. Appearently the thing should have
a printer and a keyboard, as well as some kind of tape. What
the display and control panel should be I don't know.
The Autochem ADC and control interface has a large IC, which
appears to be an A/D converter. Why the "Autoloader" has
a stereo plug, I don't know...

Apart from this, there is a small box, which is connected to
the omnibus cards by some cables. This box contains the
Centronics connectors, a buzzer, and a stereo plug
connector (could be coupled with the Autoloader).

Any suggestions, or, even better, some tech. material on this
would be greately appreciated.

	Johnny

I don't know about BABYL. Also, does your latest message imply that you
have PDP/8 software files available? Is there a way to add to the archive?
When I log in from FTP, what directory should I be in?

They are the PDP8-LOVERS mailing list archives (copies of every message
that has gone through PDP8-LOVERS).  You can find them in 
~ftp/pub/pdp8-lovers-archives.

                                        ---Rob

PS:  We should have disk space soon for a PDP8-LOVERS program archive.
Johnny Billquist and I have been discussing the format to store the
files in; do you have any suggestions?
