have to be built in I suspect you could find some earlier examples. ISTR
hearing somewhere of units which attached to mainframes which would
provide tame and date...
Yes, I would also be interested in hearing of any add-on devices. I'm
assuming IBM had something of the sort. Did they have anything like that
for the 650?
