While I honestly don't remember what it was used for that PDP11 had a card reader for sure, and something or other had to be doing the punching (I think I remember watching cards get run though it once or twice). I very much suspect that it was the PDP11 doing the punching, as nothing else at the university could have done it, unless someone was punching them by hand. Along with the PDP11 the computer room had a Data General MV10000 and a DG MV4000 neither of which dealt with cards. The PDP11/70 was used for the university administration systems and activities. I could probably find out how it was used (assuming my memory is not faulty) if anyone was really interested. -- Brad Spencer - brad(a)anduin.eldar.org - KC8VKS - http://anduin.eldar.org
