"Oooo yeah" is right! Nice rather rare catch Dan! I have one and I believe
a British list member has one too, IIRC. I have a manual in French (French
Canada) ;-\ Have only one tape. Can't imagine where to find any other
tapes commercially as it's decidedly proprietary. Came out of one of the
IBM-Endicott facilities back in the mid-80's when they did a bunch of
"downsizing". Still had some sort of test program on the tape which helped
me work out much of the programming syntax, etc.
heh, I got mine out of the basement of one of the chemistry labs at U of
I...it was destined for the scrap pile and I thought "hey, that looks too
interesting to just throw out" and then later went and found out what it
actually was :) now I just hope someone decides to throw out whatever
experimental equipment they were controlling with the calculator...an old
spectrometer or something would be pretty cool :)
