Linux on S/370? Was: Re: printer socket (Off topic)

How many DeForest double wing audions did Chris drop? Did they bounce or shatter? Marty ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: Linux on S/370?

After all, they are probably the single most influential computer family of the 1960s. The S/370s just do not have the same magic in their name. Even the last of the machines tagged "System/370" started to lose their panels. By the time the 3033 and 4331 came out (mid to late 1970s), the panels were gone. IBM used the same cabinets until recently switching over to the black and red (very sharp looking) S/390s. S/370 panels are amazing. Unlike the S/360 panels, they are black with all sorts of color coding, and liberal use of the hexadecimal knobs for setting the registers. I would like to find a picture of any old S/370 on the Web, but I have not come accross one yet. Lets give Chris a big hand for being an Auction helper at the Antique Wireless Association meet in Rochester, NY just a few weeks ago. He did not drop too many things.
