[GreenKeys] 15-level tape

[Jim Sheldon]

Interesting!  During my 20 year Army career, back in 1968-1969, I once had a part time job working for DEC, assembling PDP-8 computers .  Through trying to make my job easier, I wound up running afoul of DEC's assembly policies and getting promoted to their R & D Engineering lab as one of the only two part-time engineering techs they had ever hired.  The other guy (also an Army Electronics instructor as I was) and I got handed the PDP-11 project.   We built the prototype of the 11.  Wound up getting sent to Viet Nam and by the time I got back from there, I didn't get a chance to go back & work for DEC so until I wound up on another huge computer project for the Army in 1976 a lot of that technology got WAY ahead of me.  Fun days though.  Actually owned a PDP-11 for a while when Heathkit offered them in kit form.
