This talk of old tape brings up a question that I wanted to ask the list.
I've run into some tapes that say they were prepared on the IBM DCS
setup (7044-coupled-to-7094) running DCOS.
I confess to never having run into the 7044 in real life--it always
seemed like an odd machine--basically, a 7094 Jr.
There couldn't have been very many DCS setups, am I correct?

There was one in Washington State that Paul Pierce ended up getting some parts of.
I saw a 7044 in France 15 years ago, very odd looking narrow mainframe compared to
the usual IBM cabinets of the era, sort of like the Burroughs Medium Systems
