Has anyone ever heard of such a thing. I dug out a manual and a book on
the system, and remember
working on one years ago. The books are dated 1972-3. The company is out
of New Jersey. Anyone one know anything about the D-116 system or about
the fate of the company: DCC?

Eric

Yes Eric, I have a D-116 in my Garage!. It has a a full flank of front
panel switches, a tty port and a paper tape machine Mounted in a 5 foot
vertical Bud Cabinet. I have a shoebox full of tapes including some
Diagnostics. I also have an IBM PC with a 20MB filecard which was used
instead of the paper tape as an excerciser/ development program loader.

OCLC the online Computer Library Center, where I work, used these as front
end processors, to a bank of Tandem Computers. They were the units that ran
the polling protocol similar to IBM Bi - Sync, I would e interested in your
literature.

Could you Scan the Manual or give me some description of it?

Sincerely
