Geez, I have read and I don't think it is possible to replicate the CALOC
PDP-8/E software nor it is useful to use the Austron 5000 Loran receiver,
my understanding is that it was used to control and steer the system. It
seems they were in use until the year 2000! Maybe that using MATLAB it is
possible to exploit the Austron 5000 functionality nowadays, provided that,
someway, the 12bit samples from the Austron are transferred to the PC.
Anyway to start with, at least the receiver connectors pinout is
mandatory...
