Fwd: [roys-tech-chat] Really Old Computer Stuff

Can any of you guys verify one way or the other what that device with the tubes is that Dave is referring to in my group here? Feel free to stop on by if you like. :-) ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [roys-tech-chat] Really Old Computer Stuff Date: Wednesday 27 February 2008 13:50 From: "D" <wa4qal at yahoo.com> To: roys-tech-chat at yahoogroups.com I just added some photos in the Photos section of some really old computer hardware. These are photos I've taken from my personal collection. One is what I've been told is the peripheral I/O register for an IBM 704 computer (Note the vacuum tubes!). Another is a core storage (memory) plane from an IBM System/360, most likely either a model 60 or 65. This particular core plane was defective, and has been cut out, so it's missing the connection fingers on the sides of the plane. The remaining two are a really old computing device. ;-) Dave Yahoo!
