Sounds like a dedicated pulse-height analyzer. DEC sold a lot of machines used
for this purpose, but there were dedicated units that had no CPU, but had

Ah, but what is "the tar CLI"? The POSIX one (which version?)? The

According to http://www.vcfed.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-28274.html ,
this machine has 128KB soldered in, and can optionally use 2 256KB SIMMs.
If this is the case, I may have some SIMMs of the right type. Do you have
the exact details of the correct SIMMs to use?
