The OS for the ETA -10 was installed from QIC tape because you put it in through an Apollo
DN3000 or similar service unit... pretty sure that was THE way to get 'er done on

Hi, Plamen & Al,
I'm just catching up on some of these past threads involving QIC
cartridges. What ever became of these Paragon tapes? Were you able
to read them and archive the contents?
I'm probably showing my age (again), but "QIC" and
"Supercomputers"
just
seems to be about as related as "Chateau Margaux" and "Cheez Whiz".
If one is spending millions on a supercomputer, why would anyone want
to
put software for it on a QIC cart?
