Gil: That is not how I remember it at all. The Carriage tape on a 1403/3211(?) was just for that machine. i.e. skip to channel x As I have said before I do not ever remember seeing any IBM device or computer that had a paper tape reader/writer. This goes back to the 360’s . I just got off the phone with a friend and he does not remember it for the 14xx either.
Ed ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1403/3211? It was for the 1401/1403. You had to load it during setup. In Dutch: 'het bandje' or 'the strap'. The 3211 used a software FCB (Forms Control Buffer) to define the printpage and the channels on it. You created and compiled the FCB to the SYS1.IMAGELIB and specified the FCB with your SYSOUT statement. The FCB was then loaded into the 3211 during setup of each print job. Later the Kodak microfiche printer used the FCB and its print handling to transmit the so called 'jobset' to the machine that defined the layout of the microfiche.
