I hope you're suggesting that's a good reason _to_ use them :-)
If not, what's insane about a graphics display system that fills an entire
6' rack, contains over 3000 DRAM chips (and about as many TTL devices to
control everything), and has a service manual that contains the wonderful
statement 'Repair the instrument using normal techniques. The supplied set
of Engineering Drawings may be of help'. That is the entire section on
maintenance and repair!
Hmmmm...come to think of it, you've got a point. Finding the time for
all this is an entirely different matter. By the time I got around to
scanning in all my photos using such a classic contraption, the P100
clone system I use at home would be a classic itself.
