would this be some weird synthy type thing?
control points for the sound boaerd used for automation on some fancy desk?
or somthing els?
Vince has a listing for some version of DECUS 8-152 on his website (
http://svn.so-much-stuff.com/svn/trunk/pdp8/src/decus/8-152/decus-8-152-lst…).
I have reverse engineered it enough to have his version play a few songs.
However, it seems like there's a difference between the music tapes I have
and the listing he has.
I don't know what hardware was required of this software, but I suspect it
to be a DAC responding on address 055. This seems to match with an AA01
option.
Did you end up buying these tapes? I have digitized the music tapes I
bought from the seller and will post them soon. It would be excellent if
the buyer of this lot would do the same.
Musically,
Kyle
