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.
