I dug out a manual and a book on the system, and remember working on one years ago. The books are dated 1972-3. The company is out of New Jersey. Anyone one know anything about the D-116 system or about the fate of the company: DCC? Eric Yes Eric, I have a D-116 in my Garage!. It has a a full flank of front panel switches, a tty port and a paper tape machine Mounted in a 5 foot vertical Bud Cabinet. I have a shoebox full of tapes including some Diagnostics. I also have an IBM PC with a 20MB filecard which was used instead of the paper tape as an excerciser/ development program loader. OCLC the online Computer Library Center, where I work, used these as front end processors, to a bank of Tandem Computers. They were the units that ran the polling protocol similar to IBM Bi - Sync, I would e interested in your literature. Could you Scan the Manual or give me some description of it?
