Folks, Recently we were talking about a business automation device that used paper tape for storage; typically someone would enter data like an address on paper tape, then it would read the paper tape back through to print the address on an envelope for billing. It was a specific device/name and it was very 60s/"Mad Men" in appearance. I can't remember the name. Someone found one in an attic in MN or something. Thanks!

Metheus Omega & Motorola Exormacs docs -- already archived?

by derschjo＠gmail.com

Hi all -- I picked up some stuff on Sunday(thanks again, Jim!) that came with a pile of documentation; as far as I can tell this stuff hasn't been archived (and there's precious little information about these systems available as it is). Before I look into getting this stuff scanned I wanted to make sure it hasn't already been coveredso I don't waste time duplicating prior effort. I also don't know how much interestthere is in this stuff, so that factors in as wellto how soon I get around to doing anything about it :). Though the Metheus stuff looks seriously cool. - Josh Here's what I got: Metheus Omega 300/400/others: - Service Manual (dot matrix printout) - Schematics on 8.5x11 (not sure how complete) - Printout of "Display Module Microcode Definition Program" and associated notes - Misc notes: Several sheets of signal timings, PAL definitions, I/Oconnections - "Micro-Code Class" - a brief tutorial on how to write microcode for this thing (fun!) - "Omega 400/Omega 500 Display Controller Custom Interfacing" - "Hardware Reference Manual For the Omega 2000-Series Graphics Controller (004-03307-00)" - FEP Schematics - B/C/D-size blueprints for what looks like an entiremachine(300series) >from chassis down to logic PCBs - Omega 400 "Terminal Interface Operator's Manual" (004-02552-00) - "GRAFIN2User's Manual" (004-02704-01) - "Omega 400/DC Display Controller and Omega 400/GS Graphics Subsystem Operator's Manual (004-01085-01) - "Omega 500 Display Controller Reference Manual (004-02207-00)" Motorola EXORmacs / EXORterm 155: - "EXORterm 155 Display Console User's Guide" (includes schematics) - "EXORmacs Development System Operations Manual" M68KMACS(D9) - "VERSAdos Messages Reference Manual"M68KVMSG(D1) - "Resident Pascal User's Manual" M68KPASC(D4) - "VERSAdos Overview" MS68KVOVER(D1) - "VERSAdos System Facilities Reference Manual" M68KVSF(D1) - "CRT Editor" M68KEDIT(D6) - "System Generation Facility User's Guide" - "M6809 Cross Pascal Compiler On EXORmacs User's Manual" M6809XPASC/D1 - "Resident Structured Assembler Reference Manual" M68KMASM(D4) - "MACSbug Monitor Reference Manual" M68KMACSBG(D1) - "SYMbug/A and DEbug Monitors Reference Manual" M68KSYMBG(D1)

Tek 4052 / Dc300 tapes issues

by shadoooo＠gmail.com

Hello. About the DC300 cassette repair: I have a lot of these cassettes, original from DEC with standalone backups of software for VAX 730 inside. Unfortunately all of them suffer of the "sticky" problem, the tension band attached to the tape, and then broke itself. A replacement of the bands is surely needed, the plastibands maybe could be a good source. The problem of the stickness remains however: how could I detach the tension tape from the magnetic tape without peel off the magnetic substrate? Maybe opening the cassette, adding some lubricant without solvent (silicon oil for example) and leaving it for some days could help? Andrea
