Ah! the old 8S ....thinking back on it this 8S was from a site we were actually paid to haul stuff away from as the land lord had the building rented to a new tenant. Date? had to be in 1981 or 82.. we also got a bunch of CDC washing machine early disk drives that were 6 megs or 10 megs that had 6 platters? and truckloads of old tape readers junk power supplies.. I remember trying to use it but alas to no avail... I would toggle in the boot and go look at it and it was all nonsense when I would read the display back. probably bad core drivers!? All this talk has me curious about it again... I will have to pull it out! a! the old days! Ed# In a message dated 6/8/2015 4:02:48 P.M. US Mountain Standard Time, bfranc...@jetnet.ab.ca writes:
