Digital Systems Corporation

I am moving stuff out of my warehouse to storage, and am finding all 
sorts of nifty
toys.

One is a rom from a pretty old mini or mainframe, which is badged 
Digital Systems
Corporation.  It is "alterable" much like I understand the 360/20's were 
with boards
that were used to program sense arrays, and could be altered in the 
field to change
the firmware.

As I mention in the web page, I have little information on it, and 
retrieved it as a
close friend was downsizeing his collection of stuff many years ago.  I 
don't know
that he obtained it from a working machine, but we both agreed that a 
packrat
like me would be better suited for it than he was, as he wanted to just 
have less
stuff.

I was very fortunate to know a few that were downsizeing to me rather 
than the
land fill (and am working with one now).

Anyway, maybe someone will have some comment on the company name or
logo.  I apologize for the current photos, I will try to scan or get 
better resolution
photos of the label and post it, or follow up this on the list.

I get nothing on any site that is of any use, as the three words that 
the company
chose for itself may as well be "smith" "jones" or any word with millions or
billions of hits, and nothing recent other than companies in Japan and Costa
Rica (both unlikely to be useful)
