Book Description
This thesis is concerned with the design of the high speed tape read-out and tape feed control circuits and interface to the PDP-8/L Computer system, The system was designed to operate under the programmed data transfer mode of the computer, and is compatible with the computer manufacturer's system. The circuit components of the tape read-out circuits were experimentally determined for the best performance and the cost of the major units of the system, excluding the labor cost, was estimated, This paper indicates how a simple, inexpensive and reliable interface can be developed by using commercially available integrated circuits.
