Has anyone heard of a DTC MICROFILE before?  I aquired one from my school 
when they where cleaning a room out.  It has 2 8 inch disk drives, buttons 
that say "Transparent" and another one that says "Control Display" , and yet 
another that says "Format Enable".  There is 2 RS232's in the back.  I 
plugged a dumb terminal to the back and when the system turns on it says
"DTC MicroFile" then gives a * prompt (if I remember correctly).  I opened 
the case, and inside are memory boards, and a CPU CARD.  IS THIS A COMPUTER? 
Or just a smart disk drive?  My dad says they used to have something similar 
in the computer center at Bank of America where he used to work.  He said 
they hooked between the mainframes or something like that (he isnt the most 
technical person!).
