Hmmm, that Top Assy number has TC02 in it Tim.
Told ya' so :-).
Found it. Thanks!
Yeow! I thought Andromeda was a defunct company! Years ago I had heard of
them, seen advertising and magazine articles, etc. But they're still going!
They have several Q-bus items and card cages. And they *still* have the
(U)DC11 in their catalog!
That's my type of company. Like me, they are still working at the Trailing
Edge of Technology. :-) Cool!
Thanks for the wake up, Tim.

Two
50-pin-headers strongly points towards this board being a
Pertec-formatted
>tape interface. (like the TC02/TC03). It could also be a communications
>multiplexer, like something from the CS series. With that TC02 in the Top Assy number would that
mean this is indeed a TC02
tape I/F as you figured?
If so what tape drive model(s) should I be looking for?
Just about any Pertec-formatted tape drive will work (even the oddball
Kennedy formatters which use funny strobes.) Configuration information
is available from
http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/academic/computer-science/history/pdp-11/hardwar… Okay, anybody have any data on this Andromeda
UDC11 module?
Andromeda certainly does :-). http://www.andromedasystems.com/.
