Perhaps someone recognizes either of the two following Omnibus cards from
Tennecomp Systems? Have any documentation perhaps?
- TP 5/11 Display Control: two DAC & 7x5 character generator
- TP 33 ADC & Control Interface: Rotochem ADC & control interface; dual

Thank you for any leads; all that I've gleaned thus far is what I've listed
above.

That is exactly the reason, why I take time to scan field engineering

IBM S/370 and Honeywell Datanet-systems, even though I don't have the

Kossow about its relevance or if there is any interest for it.
Especially hardware produced in little amounts or for very special
purposes without any documentation (and software) is pretty useless, unless
you have time and the ability to re-engineer its function.

One problem with the second source stuff is that
it's more difficult to
get
documentation for it. So archiving documentation
for very rare or
probably
non-existent hardware should be given some
priority over the stuff that
everybody has (speaking of redundant piles of pdp11 and pdp8
documentation).
