Re: [ARSCLIST] Is this audio? or word processing? or ? ? ?

[Steven Smolian <smolians@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a similar playback device that uses 8.5x11 sheets of magneically 
coated material.  It plays back with an arm that rotates with a head at the 
nd.  It was a message repeater.

No one ever brought in a job for it so I never tried getting it to work.

Good seing you again, however briefly.  You misse done hell of a carousel 
ride.
