Thus wrote dundas(a)caltech.edu:
Seem to remember RMIT's EduSystem used mark-sense cards as the Tech
College couldn't afford the the teletype/papertape configuration. Was
there a -15 version?

Which reminds me there used to be a series of
"EduSystems" for the PDP-8
as I recall. -25, -30, etc. The one I used was TU-55/-56 based, though
one or more might well have been disk-based. Have any of these been
recovered?
Hmmm. Somewhere around here [*] I've got paper tapes of Edu-20 and
Edu-20-C, both BASIC multiuser systems for 8K+ PDP-8s. They were both for
paper-tape-only systems, say schools that could only afford the basic 8K
machine and a few Teletypes. (The Edu-20-C was basically an Edu-20 system
which could use Edu-25 commands.)
