computer programs to be processed on an IBM 360 computer.
Our RCA 301 computers were rather uniquely configured and
these nrorams are currently processed with a special
Spectra 70/35 emulator. The configuration was as follows:
one RCA 381 six-pack tape unit with Sense Read Error EEnhance--
ment, the standard RCA hodel 333 drum printer, an 11l 11402
card reader/punch and en RCA i.Todcl 31485 seven track tape
unit which was hard-wired to accept instructions intended for
an IM Model 729-IV tape unit.
It is possible that this agency's flexibility in making
future plans would be greatly enhanced if this simulator
package could be adapted to handle our RCA 301 pro rame .
Should your agency be willing.,, to share this simulator with
us, we would first review it to determine the extent of the
modifications required. Your office could either furnish
the name and phone number of your responsible analyst or
make direct contact with the Systems Support branch of the
Bureau of Data Processing on (301) 5914-7567_.
Your assistance and cooperation in this matter would be
greatly appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
Harry Ohs
