Hi all,
Back in the early 70's I was an operator on an IBM 360/40
with 4 tapedrives. Nobody could understand that sometimes
a tape transfer would stop saying "end of tape", mainly
around 3 PM,
It was also well-known that you should not allow flash
pictures to be taken in the machine room, as ALL the tape
drives would unload simultaneously when the flash went off.
