who knows how
many years. I think cleanliness is of
more importance than wide temperature changes.
Because of this I keep the /44 covered with old
sheets to try and keep most of the dirt out of it.
Jerome Fine replies:
Plenty hot in Ottawa in the summer can still be over 90
degrees Fahrenheit in the summer with VERY high humidity.
But in winter, minus 40 degrees is not uncommon - is probably not important (and Fahrenheit is not
required
since the same value applies to Centigrade as well).
My wife will not let them into the house, so if my pleading
is in vain I may have to put it up for adoption in the fall,
with the 2 as400/s.
Did you receive any system software and if so do you
know
which version of the operating systems are available?
There is one disk labelled TSX,LEX, the rest are unlabeled
except for AECL 2200 BPI-12
AECL( Atomic Energy Canada Limited) is where they machines
came from I believe.
There are 2 other pack labelled RL01K-DC with TD2, and TD4
The paper tapes are labelled:
DZM91-D-PB
DZKMA-C1-PB
DZKAQ-F-PB
DFKTH-A-PB
DFKAC-A-PB
DFKAB-C-PB
DFKAA-B1-PB
DCMFA-D-PB
DZDLA-F-PB
DZDLA-F1-PB
I didn't notice a paper tape reader in the pile, but there
is a manual from a paper tape reader that gives the codes.
There is also a Manual from HP - Seminar in Problem solving
concepts for computer systems.
and a bunch for a PDP 11/15.
