[GreenKeys] Charmilles ZIP ASR

[Chris Elmquist]

I have encountered this company name in the CNC machine space.  There are
a number of eBay sellers offering parts for a "Charmilles Roboform Robofil
EDM machine" and in particular, I came across it looking for TU-58 tape
drives for DEC PDP-11 equipment.  I suspect they used PDP-11s to control
the EDM CNC machines.

There's a little more info here,
