Tektronix 4911 paper tape punch/reader, 4912 cassette drive

by legalize＠xmission.com

Has anyone ever seen either of these? They're introduced in the Tektronix catalog for 1973, pg. 277. I cannot find pictures of either of these peripherals in any catalog. The cassette drive appeared in only the 1973 catalog and the tape punch/reader appeared for only three years. Prices: 4911 4912 1973 $2950 $1950 1974 $2950 1975 $3295 I've collated together all the graphics/terminal products from the various Tektronix catalogs together into a single PDF file: <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/vintage/docs/tektronix/Tektronix_Terminal…> This includes the storage scope displays and related equipment, but omits all the oscilloscope, test equipment and microprocessor development system stuff. It does include the workstations, however. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/the-direct3d-graphics-pipeline/> Legalize Adulthood! <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com>

Seeking surplus IBM bus / tag cables and terminators?

by nigel.d.williams＠gmail.com

A friend has a well preserved IBM 3430 tape drive (off an IBM System/38) and we speculated whether we could connect this to one of our AS/400s, which we understand is possible via a suitable SPD card. Before we try to usually difficult process of negotiating down the high prices offered by various eBay sellers, does anyone have any surplus bus/tag cables and terminators (for both) which they can offer please? Here are pictures of the IBM 3430 and most of the cables etc: https://picasaweb.google.com/118247290269860741639/IBM3430TapeDrive Willing to pay shipping to Australia.
