Jos,
Thanks for the info. Can you tell me what the cards that I have do? I'd
like to be able to tell something about them. As far as OCR is concerned,
at least part of this stuff came from a "DECStation 310" that was used for
word processing. I have the Engineering Drawings for the DECStation 310 (I
THINK that is the correct name) and a plastic rack panel marked "WPS-8".

I spent a big part of yesterday sorting out
the DEC cards that I've
been
picking up the last couple of weeks. This morning I photographed SOME
of
the PDP-8 cards. Take a look
<http://www.classiccmp.org/hp/My%20PDP-8%20Cards/> there's definitely
some
odd stuff there! This is just a small part of the ones that I got.
I'll add
more photos and (hopefully) descriptions later. If anyone wants to
take a
stab at identifing some of the third party cards and/or writing a
description I'll be glad to post it.
The ECRM cards you've got are hardware speedups for OCR scanning.
Yes PDP8's were used for OCR !
Some ECRM cards are very usefull, but those aren't.
Nevertheless I have all info on those boards should you want do do
something with them.
ECRM has a two card 24x80 VDU option and a multi-io ( RS232, PPT,
printer) all one one omnibus card.
That are the truly usefull ones.
btw ECRM is still in business...
