Re: looking for a 7-track reel tape controller
I think you could change heads in a TU10 and add or take out a few boards. I've worked on 7 and 9 track versions in the day.

The TU20 drive on the PDP-9 at the RICM is a 7-track drive. The only difference between the 7-track and 9-track versions of the TU20 is the tape head. All of the tape drive electronics is the same for both versions. -- Michael Thompson

I need a keypunch (briefly)
I was referred to this group by dave.g4...@gmail.com who thought you might be able to help me. I need to punch a half-dozen datacards for an award for a retired IBMer. Anyone know where I can find a working 026/029/129 within 300 miles of Raleigh, NC? Many thanks for any pointers. Chip Davis c...@aresti.com +1.919.271.2582
Re: Anyone have any Datapoint software on floppy?
Anyone interested in Datapoint should get this book: Datapoint The Lost Story of the Texans Who Invented the Personal Computer Revolution ISBN 978-1-936449-36-1 Quite a story, I could not put it down.

Re: eBay: PDP-8/A KL8A serial line card
> From: Paul Anderson > $325?? Well, they did list it with a 'Best Offer'. I figure the third time they get an offer of US$100 (or whatever the thing is actually worth, I don't track PDP-8 board values), it might become clear to them that they are way optimistic on the value. I once had to wait a year for an eBay seller to come down to a semi-reasonable price on some RK05 drives... Eventually they gave in. Noel
Anyone have any Datapoint software on floppy?
I picked up Eric's DP 1500 Z80 system at VCF West this weekend, unfortunately the boot disk has bad sectors. Anyone have any diskettes/images around for the 1500 or any other version of their systems? I took pics and dumped the firmware from it along with a DP 1551 pcb I've had for a while, and have been uploading the manuals to bitsavers that came with it, as well as a bunch that I've had scanned in the backlog
