Card Reader - HELP!

Hi all,

I'm working on a volunteer project at the Computer History Center to
interface a Documation desk top 80-column card reader to an IBM PC. The
card reader is in very good condition, however we have no documentation
for it. Do you know of, have, or can you provide pointers to any
documentation
for this device, how to interface to it, or operational information?

On the back panel of the reader is a plate which lists the model as
Documation "Model RM/TRM 10.12L-10.12C", with a sticker on the front
with "Model 10.L12+", and operates at 115V 6.1A.

The reader has a 1" x 2" (approximately) data connector on the back with
this layout:

  +---------------------+
  | O O O O |
  | O O O O |
  | O O O O O O |
  | O O O O |
+ | O X O | +
  | O O O O |
  | O O O O O O |
  | O O O O |
  | O O O O |
  +---------------------+

Legend: O female connector
        X Connector screw hole in center of the recepticle
        + Guide holes where the hood would attach

The data connector is similar to, but isn't, a V.35 connector.

TIA for your help. Please respond via email or phone.

Thanks!
