Does anyone have any Tennecomp peripherals for their PDP-8s? I've got a Minidek, TP-1371, but no interface for it. It seems quite different from the TP-1351 in that it's faster and such, as well as the IOTs to control it. I scanned some docs a while back for Bitsavers (http://bitsavers.org/pdf/tennecomp/) but don't have schematics for the controller. I'd like to read my tapes at some point, and I may simply find a suitable Stereo-pak deck and digitize them that way.
I also have a Xebec hard sector 8" floppy drive system for the PDP-8, which has booted before. However, I don't know what to do to format new floppies. It seemed like there was a special formatter program to run, but I don't have a copy far as I know.
Anyone else have some weird off-brand PDP-8 peripherals?
