So what have I got?

Machines

Other hardware

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

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)
