Yup. The shame is that some of the more advanced 765-based FDCs came in

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the responses and to Al for explaining the GT41/43 along with images
of the same, it certainly looked like an impressive bit of kit for the time.
On the fiche front I have had a number of responses to take them, so now have
to sort out the details with those involved,

Hi Mike,
I'm interested though I'm not in the UK. I'm happy to pay shipping though.
I won't be selling them on eBay (or anywhere else) but using them for
help working on my DEC collection.
Thank you!

Imagedisk can't handle mixed sector sizes on a track.
For the cost of postage: 2 Sun brackets, part no 330-1806
One is made of clear plastic, the other is purple.
They are located in the Netherlands.

I think the OP's approach - disable the on-board console - is probably best:

I exaggerate a bit, but only slightly - they're available for about $25).

set of fische, the duplicates aren't any use. So, if anyone has a use for
them, let me know, FTGH:
