I don't believe the system you are referring to is a Pick system. The Zebra
systems that ran Pick were produced by General Automation, not STC. Unless
of course, they were rebadged somehow.
I did a fair amount of operating system development to the Pick O/S for a
few of the vendors that produced their own implementations, so if it does
turn out to be a rebadged one, drop me a line and I'll give you any
assistance I can to get it up and running. I finally added two zebra's to my
collection, a 2820 and a 1750. I was intimately familiar with most of the
Pick vendors, and STC doesn't ring a bell anyways...
Also bear in mind that General Automation also produced a line of industrial
systems for process control and the like - those systems did NOT run pick.

Subject: Re: Does anyone have details about the STC ZEBRA? Tony?
While anything running Pick is worthy of discussion on
this list,
IMHO, I'd like to see some more clarification. Assuming the
68000 is another computer, how big was an '59 STC? IBM 1401
sized (~~4'x5'x6')?
And, could Hans' and Chris' manuals be from the same company?
