Yeah, I see. I love the plexiglas front panel on the model 20 CPU.
I suspect if the same treatment had been given the 2560, the bits and
pieces of chewed-up punch cards would have obstructed the view of the

I don't know much about S/3 hardware. Was there 80-column card-
handling equipment for it, and if so, what was it?
