Cool. Any way to identify it for sure? This one has the tape drive
bolted to the top of the CRT housing and a huge red plastic-coated cable
attached at the rear to lock it down to the table. The Lab I/O module has
a gray box with jacks to connect to the outside world.
How did you guys use it? Do you have *any* docs lying around (not a silly
question - I still have all my notes from several college classes and I
went from 1984 - 1989).
One of our lab experiments involved that interface,
but I forgot
exactly what the experiment was supposed to be about (It either
had to do with a laser, or an EKG machine...)
Sounds cool.
The physics lab had several PET's, but their
keyboards were kind of
thrashed. They also had an OSI computer in a clear plastic case,
as a demonstration "what's inside the computer".
Neat.
Thanks for speaking up.
