I have found some pictures...
Has anyone ever used one of these? (CDC 160?)
I don't see a bank of switches... can you fat finger in code?
It looks like there is a block input instruction, perhaps instead of
fat fingering
code you produce a binary tape and run it in to boot the machine?
It looks like the three big displays match the A, S, and PC registers
and are in octal...
right?
Ron,
These are all questions that you'll find the answers for in the CDC-160A
operations manual. And you'll most definitely *have* to read it if you
plan to simulate it. You do plan on reading the manual, don't you?
