anyone seen these music tapes before i grabed
this trays for the oddnes
of
the content of these tapes? also apears to have
the software to play
them?
would this be some weird synthy type thing?
control points for the sound boaerd used for automation on some fancy
desk?
or somthing els?
Vince has a listing for some version of DECUS 8-152 on his website (
http://svn.so-much-stuff.com/svn/trunk/pdp8/src/decus/8-152/decus-8-152-lst…
).
I have reverse engineered it enough to have his version play a few songs.
However, it seems like there's a difference between the music tapes I have
and the listing he has.
I don't know what hardware was required of this software, but I suspect it
to be a DAC responding on address 055. This seems to match with an AA01
option.
Did you end up buying these tapes? I have digitized the music tapes I
bought from the seller and will post them soon. It would be excellent if
the buyer of this lot would do the same.
Musically,
Kyle
