Speaking of CDC, among the junk I'm cleaning out of my basement there's a
partial backplane out
of an old CDC something-or-other, connected to a panel with 2 AC outlets
(Monitor & Data Set), a fuse and a DB25 for the Data Set. There's also an
acoustic delay line and a large resistor/diode
matrix board which I think came from the same piece. Maybe a 60's era
terminal???

3 rows of cards; the two top rows A & B have 25 slots for 4 1/2x6", double
sided 31 edge
connectors cards, some with 10 test points along the edge and each
populated with one or two
dozen gold 10 pin TO5 cans marked M (as in Motorola) 115, 116, 117, 118
with what I assume are
date codes like 6624, 6644, and 6636.

The bottom row, C, 32 slots, contains a few smaller cards with pin
connectors that appear to be
some kind of programming cards, just containing jumper wires.

Anybody recognize these and maybe even have a use for a card or two, or can
I throw them out
without feeling guilty?
