[GreenKeys] High-Speed 8-bit perforator..

[Chris Elmquist]

Fun stuff,

	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MODCOMP

	Many of MODCOMP's early sales were for tracking and data
	collection from NASA space probes, and in the 1980s they provided
	a network of 250 MODCOMP II systems to control the Space Shuttle
	launch complex at Cape Canaveral until T-30, at which point
	control was handed over to a single IBM mainframe.[1] In the 1990s
	MODCOMP developed a product in the UK called ViewMax, which was
	used to connect web-based "front-ends" to legacy systems. In 1996,
	MODCOMP had $36.7 million in sales, and were purchased by CSPI.

	MODCOMP IV computers were used for the control system of the
	PAVE PAWS radar system built for the United States Air Force
	Space Command.[4]

	Outside of the aerospace industry, these systems were particularly
	popular with the oil industry, both in oil refineries and in
	oilfields, and for general manufacturing automation. Standard
	Oil, in particular, made extensive use of Modcomp equipment in
	the 1970s.[5][5] [6][7]


That particular one, located in Kennewick, WA and "USED BY US DEPT OF
ENERGY UP UNTIL THE MID 80'S"  must have been saved from Hanford.
