Looks very much like the MK14; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MK14

Same with the MK14.

I later added the I/O chip and managed to program it to function as a telix machine. The 10 digit 7 segment display showed the text in right to left text scroll mode.

 BF>    Ah, yes, those were the days.

Indeed they were. And fun it was.

Ok, back on topic. Did you make any progress with that "relay6" shim?


Cheers, Michiel
