I *guess* it also comes from the CDC 6600 but I'm not sure. Can anyone
identify it?
Looks very similar to a CDC 160 -- which the 6000 series peripheral
processors were based on, so I guess it's a PP front panel?
There is actually very little similarity between the 160 and the 6000 series PPs. The
instruction set is vaguely alike, but that's about it.
PPs have NO front panel. Nor does the rest of the system. There's only the deadstart
panel (a 12 word boot "rom") and the operator display (a peripheral controlled
by one of the PPs).
