Sorry, I mislabled the episode.  What I mean is actually "Murder
by the Book".

What you find on YouTube isn't the correct episode either.
I only found a black-and-white one which is longer
than the DVD version I have (for unclear reasons) at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRMbE8ScdtE .

There, you can see the computer system starting at around 0:24:20
and 0:36:00.  There clearly is a tape system, plus a terminal (0:24:47).

However, the quality of that particular video is even worse than
what I have on my DVD, so it is unlikely to be much help in recognizing
brand names.
