Re:
We also had tricked out IBM AS400 living in the MPE
Lab for a while,
Circa 1979/1980, the MPE lab (building 47U) had an IBM 8100 (IIRC) in one of
the small conference rooms (southeast corner). I remember seeing an IBM CE
come in to repair the memory after the HP engineers zapped it for the second or
third time :)
In this case, I think it was being used for reverse-engineering / competitive
analysis, not for it's intended use.
