And yes I know this beast pretty well, more than I liked in the old days.
DEC made CAPS-11 "operating-system" especially arount this peripheral,
basically the papertape programming software on casettes.
I'm not aware of any surviving copy of this..."

I've got one of these, but no interface board for 8e or 11/34.
Anyone know where one might be found?
It'd be cool to try to bring it up. Probably no device driver support in
any later OS's, but at least I could try writing some machine code to see if
it works.
Would be cool if someone has a copy of CAPS out there. Does anyone know if
you
could boot off of these things?

Hi all,
KFOG here in the SF Bay Area has a show called 10 at 10 where they play 10
songs from a past year with historical tidbits between songs. Today's show
from 1968 included a clip from the Bob Newkirk(sp?)
show of an IBM 7090
playing music and singing.
It will be replayed tonight at 10PM Pacific and can be heard via KFOG's web
site www.kfog.com. The previous weeks shows are also replayed Saturday
morning starting at 7AM pacific. The particular clip is about 17 minutes
into the show.
Enjoy!

Sorry, originally posted last week so this show is long gone. Thought the
post would make the list faster than it did (4 days lag).

Hmm, there is a driver for the TU60 in RSX-11M. Known as the CT: driver

I actually have a bunch of tapes from caps-11... I don't know if it is a
complete copy, but it is much more than nothing...
