John's posting about the Unibus interface reminded me
that something to watch for are the card and interface
manuals for CAMAC crates. CAMAC was very popular in
physics labs. There are lots of modules and crates
around, but, as usual, no one saved the manuals.

We have lots of CAMAC crates at the Physics department, but I've never
seen a manual. :-(

And indeed this machine appears to have been used in the High Energy
Physics lab here at Caltech at one point. [It was actually found in
a pile of dirt in the basement of one of the dorms.]
