I have three 5.25 inch floppies that have the labels (copies):
EVEREX EXCEL STREAMING TAPE ST 4061 VER 4.06 EV0-00830-00 MAY 24 1988.
Disk 2 and 3 have similar labels, but are 4062 and 4063. Upon running
the tape program on disk 1, the options for hardware are:
Full Size QIC-36 tape controller board
Full Size cassette tape controller board
Half Size QIC-02 tape controller board
Diskette and QIC-02 board
2/3 Size QIC-36
Disk and QIC-36
Disk and QIC-02
The program does not give model numbers, but shows a graphic of the board
and all the jumpers.
Ya think this software will help you?

Does anyone know exactly what a Smoke Signal Broadcasting DCB-4E cards are
for? It's and EXORbus card and has a MC6821P and a WD FD1791B-02 LSICs and
a lot so SS TTL ICs on it. Does anyone have data for the card?
Joe
I will try to find time on Wednesday (the next day I am at the site where
the floppies are) to zip them up and then I'll contact those interested
off the list.

I knew someone was going to ask about those! :-) Well, those are Classic and
therefore OK too. My fundamental points are:
1. Every person on Earth must be required to know the fundamental principles of
Computer Science, including the principles of character coding.
2. People must realise (just like ancient pagans did) that codes are more
primary and more fundamental than character shapes. To illustrate my point:
most people believe that letter 'A' is fundamentally a tent with a bar
between the slopes, and that 1000001 is one computer representation of it.
This is what I am challenging, I argue that letter 'A' is fundamentally
1000001 and that the shape with two slopes and a bar between them is merely
one possible representation of this fundamental 7-bit code, a representation
that is a passing fad of a society that uses handwriting, printing, paper,
and other barbaric antiques like this instead of directly transmitting binary
codes from one computer or brain to another.
3. Keyboards, just like all other tools, need to be viewed in this light: it is
not a device for entering a certain set of graphic characters, it is a device
for entering a certain set of codes in some charset. This is what the IFCTF
keyboard definition is all about.

P.S. Oh, and the Latin alphabet needs to be renamed by law into ASCII
International Reference Variant (IRV) alphabet.

But there already were IBM Hollerith machines in World War II, weren't there?
I even remember reading about Nazis using them for bean counting in their camps.
So how can it only be 39 years old? WW2 ended in 1945, so it must be at least
2004-1945=59 years old.
