+                        <p>The PDP-12 was released in 1969. It was the last series that
+                        could operate in Link modus (it could be switched to either Link-8
+                        or PDP-8). This is a laboratory computer, equipped with AD and DA
+                        converter as standard. Such computers were usually kept up to date
+                        with hardware updates. The memory of this device was gradually
+                        increased from 8kB up to 32kB (DW 08E storage extension).
+                        <br>Beside the tape drives, the computer was also equipped with
+                        an 8-inch floppy drive. Afterwards they were removed again in
+                        favor of two removable disk drives. Finally they even tied the
+                        device to 10BASE-T ethernet, using a selfmade controller with an
+                        handwritten TCP/IP stack on a selfmade operating system.
+                        Thus this device can demonstrate the era of paper tapes until
+                        today's storage standard.
+                        <br>We will repair it and report further details at this point.</p>
