Automation Systems

[RadioFixerCLE]

Has anyone here considered OTS? Seems pretty easy to use, as both live assist and auto.

Let me endorse the Harris System 90. As long as you change the reels, clean the heads and load the log with that seven inch floppy it will run like a champ.

Seven inch floppys! Your memory shrinks dimensions; they were surely 8", 5 and 1/4" or the square 3 1/2" floppys.
I remember trying to buy 8 inch floppys in Ottawa about 1990 I saved a few for posterity...Like the 18" hard aluminum disc 6 -tier discs
from the 1965 GE tim/tom RTMOS ( real-time multi-operating system). Chortle... ;D cough
such beautiful head crashes. And the oxide coating is orangey-brown.....
They make such dangerous frisbees....and you nevr seen a disc drive till you seen one 3 feet tall that danced and shook like a washing machine with
only one throw rug during system backups, MAN, did it do the shimmy....

YES! 8)

It's a very good system, especially for those on a budget. It's also very easy to use!

I currently have ots and am pretty satisfied with it. The only thing I'm running into is the scheduling of logs.

That can be done, with the scheduling and logging module. Or if you know how to design the OTS template format via a simple text editor like notepad, you can build a template to follow a pattern. This process is explained in-depth on the OTS website.

As for me, I interfaced Selector with OTS.

StorQ from Waitt Radio. And no, you don't have to be a Waitt affiliate to use it.

I still take care of some ROLM CBX telephone systems that use the 8in floppies for backup and IPL loads!
