Rumor has it that Ashley Carder may have mentioned these words:
>I can't find any reference to a Dumbkoff 1 orDumbkoff anything else
>computer related, although I did find the word "Dumbkoff" used to mean
>"idiot" or "someone stupid".

It's a misspelling of Dummkopf, which (most literally) in German is:

Dumm == Dumb
Kopf == head

A closer translation would probably be "addlebrained".

>I did find reference to the Remington-Rand 256 bit tube. Check this out:

That's pretty cool... thanks for the link!
