The disk drive used removable disk cartridges, as long as you didn't include
the cartridge (which would have to be destroyed) the system can be used for
unclassified work, or disposed of.

That is very cool. Thanks a lot.

Adobe has been kind enough to solve this little problem for us. See
following.

The e-mail based PDF accessibility tools have been updated. You can
now submit multiple URLs in a single e-mail message as well as submit
PDF files to Adobe as MIME attachments. See below for more details.
There are three e-mail options you can use to convert Adobe PDF
documents to a format that is more accessible to screen reading
software. The e-mail address you use depends on the conversion format
you want, plain (ASCII) text or HTML, and whether the PDF is on the
Internet or local media.
Option 1
If the Adobe? PDF is on the Internet, you can mail the URL (Web
address) of the PDF in the body of an e-mail message to
pdf2txt(a)adobe.com (for plain text) or to pdf2html(a)adobe.com (for
HTML). The convertor will mail back the translation of the PDF file.
You can submit multiple URLs in a single e-mail.Tip: Some URLs are
very long and cumbersome to type. Cutting and pasting the URL into
the mail message will save you some keystrokes.
Option 2
If the Adobe PDF is on local media, such as a hard drive, CD-ROM, or
internal server, it can be submitted as a MIME attachment to an e-mail
message. All converted Adobe PDF documents will be sent back to the
sender as MIME attachments. For plain text, mail the attached PDF to
pdf2txt(a)adobe.com. For HTML, mail the attached PDF to
pdf2html(a)adobe.com.
Option 3
A service hosted by Trace Research Center also allows you to convert
Adobe PDF documents.
You can either mail the URL of the Adobe PDF or attach the Adobe PDF
document itself to your e-mail message and send it to
pdf2txt(a)sun.trace.wisc.edu (for plain text) or to
pdf2html(a)sun.trace.wisc.edu (for HTML). The convertor will mail back
the translation of the PDF file.
Hello, all:
Last night I refreshed my Web site a bit, moving the Altair article
and IBM PC BIOS listing to the main pages.
I also posted two more AIM ROM sets, courtesy of Bill Dawson --
Forth and PL/65.

On further thought I added to the idea.

Why not use them all!
A box is Cubic_volume=HeightxWidthxDepth, so why not computers measured
in Zuse?
Zuse = VonNeuman x Eckart x Aiken x Mauchley
With the possible corrosponding dimensions in real terms of memory, speed,
storage, wordsize or some such.

Huh? Where are you? I think it's time for a road trip.

I was going through the Ebay completed items just out of boredom, and
noticed that an HP2748B paper tape reader went for $5.00 back on April 6th.
That is one HECK of a deal!!! About a year and a half ago I saw (much to my
chagrin, long story) an HP 7900A disc drive in working condition go for
about $100 bucks.
I missed the 2748B, but wouldn't have bid anyways, I already have two :)
