for the HSC50, it will be DECtape II.
We might still have a set around at Update, but it's been years since I
saw them, and we don't have any HSC50 anymore. We still have a HSC90
though, with the floppy.

Yes! Yes!
I implore everyone to watch these videos. The last one is great!
Well, to be honest. If you have a speaker in the computer, it might make

We may not miss those sounds now, but I figure it could be a bit like

If we're casting votes, I'd put mine on ASCII-ANSI. Because:
- PDP-10 7-bit ASCII files are transformed into 8-bit ASCII files.
