So what have I got?

Software

disks

2016-05-28: I got some removable disks (cartridge disks? disk packs?)

• 1 x type CDC Model 9848-24
• 1 x type Control Data Model 9848-24
• 3 x type Control Data Model 848-24

Perhaps all are the same model?

floppies

2013-02-11: I visited a kind man who gave a few 5.25 inch floppies with ND software on it, plus a sealed box of unused floppies (3M - DS, HD - 5.25 inch, box of 10). The ND floppies are

• ND-10561A PC-LINK (gzipped image)
• 210455G02-XX-01D VTM Terminal tables (Standard) release date 870626 870618 (the floppy label is crossed out) (gzipped image)
• 210177K01-XX-01D COBOL-85 for ND-500/5000 release date 890227 8902 (gzipped image)
• 105226M07-NO-02D NOTIS-WP for ND-500 release date 870709 870507 (gzipped image)
• 210523E00-XX-01D Test Programs for ND-100 release date 870715 870108 (gzipped image)
• dir: KOM, user: FL-US, Kermit (handwritten label) Kermit file transfer program (gzipped image)

tape

2016-05-28: in today's haul I got 9 (magnetic) tapes, the spools are about 7 inches in diameter (add about one centimeter for the protective case), the tape itself is about 0.5 inch wide. some tapes are unlabeled, most carry a "Racal-Zonal" label, one has "Fully Tested to 3200 F C I", "Racal-Zonal", "CALCULUS COMPUTER TAPE" on the same label. (Note to self: more tapes are available, if I can figure out a way to read them)

• 9 x 0.5 inch wide tapes, perhaps this is 9-track tape? Is this what is called CCT (computer compatible tape)?

Luckily, the tapes have an index / contents written down on paper stored inside the tape box.

paper tape

2016-05-28: in this haul I got a paper tape, see below. (Note to self: more paper tapes are available, if interested.)

• 1 x 8-hole paper tape containing RUNOFF:SYMB (text both punched and written with pencil on tape)
