I just got a box of 8" media which included some

Camera logos I usually see on high speed camera equipment I collect.
There is something called a Fairchild Series 70 with what appear to be
floppies labeled for such a system in one box. There were probably
more, but they are full of Tarbell media, which I need as well.
Any idea what this is? I will try to rig something or find someone
with the means to digitize it and donate it to Bitsavers, of course.
Fairchild ATE equipment. You'll fnd a classiccmp posting from me
last year about this thing. I did eventually decode the thing--it
uses its own minicomputer (24 bit) as well as disk encoding.
