[sebhc] HDOS Issue #50.05.00

[Dwight K. Elvey]

Hi
 It is a day or so of work. I'm using a frame from an old
SA400. I just have to mill the blocks to hold the punch
shaft ( I think I selected a #93 drill for the punch shaft).
These old frames were quite strong. The idea is that
you put the disk into the drive and center the index hole
with the punch. The pulley on the back has some detents
drilled in it that a spring loaded ball bearing rides in
( or maybe a tapered setscrew ). Once aligned and clamped,
one would rotate the pulley and stop at each detent. The
location under the punch should be correct for each hole
so one doesn't need to punch extra holes in the envelope.
 It is just a side project so hasn't got high priority.
I have a long weekend coming up so I might actually work
on it some. I have a request from Barry Watzman to copy
some manuals and another fellow that is interested in some
of my Poly 88 manuals( the 8813 uses hard sectored as well ).
 It won't be a production speed operation but I'm sure
I'll be able to punch disk faster than I can find data
to put on them ;)
 When I get it working, I'm sure that I'll loan it out
to people. Maybe a hefty deposit will make sure that
it returns.
