Being a little young to have actually in data centers like these but,
having worked with some of the gear later and worked in more modern data

how it was done. Well, minus any women of course.
How loud was it really ? Say in something like this

I've never seen much soundproofing on mainframe gear so, I assume it
must have been really loud in there.
I posted some 1980's vintage HP3000 marketing
shots at Flicker: http://flic.kr/s/aHsjBmrAyC
Enjoy!
Lee - thanks for posting these. Especially love the datacenter scenes
with the gobs of 9-track and pack drives. And there are some bizarro
terminals (the little ones with the shrouds) that I've never seen
before.
