Status: offline 		Here's a better one... I still have the punched paper tape for an old PDP-8, not to mention a case of punched cards for an old MDS-2100 and IBM-360.

Status: offline 		Ah... but do you have the machines themselves? Serving no purpose but being conversation objects?

BTW - DEC made very solid rack mounts... almost good enough for playtime. But is VMS humiliation play in and of itself?

Status: offline 		No, I don't have the machines. I might be able to squeeze in the PDP-8 amongst everything else, but the MDS-2100 and the IBM 360 would, together, fill up one bedroom in the house.

I hang onto that old media just as a tangible reminder where we were technologically speaking just 30 years ago.

Status: offline 		I remember seeing those and learned that they were in the US space shuttles before they got their system upgrades. All I was thinking was... "Yikes!" But then, after I heard the explanation, core memory didn't suffer from erasure should the power be cut off... something kind of important while in orbit.

Status: offline 		Well, I should clarify...

It's 64k RAM from 1970, with 64k RAM from 1976 and 64k RAM from a C64... It used to be a demonstration piece from a place where I worked, to illustrate just how much better things have gotten. And that we were geek enough to still have a running PDP-11/70 that we still ran jobs on...
