Did anyone catch this Clive "Max" Maxfield article on IBM
DeveloperNet some months back?
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/power/library/pa-hrrg1
I like his idea of implementing a computer using RS-485 linkup among
the functional units. Is anyone tempted to get their soldering iron
warmed up?
Cheers,
Chuck

Most attractive front panel from an aesthetics standpoint...

The Data General Eclipse (S/130, S/200) front panel is just pretty.

Agreed. I always felt it's what the DEC 11/34 should've had as a front
panel.
Damn shame they went to the two switch boot/halt combination and the
programmers panel was nowhere near as slick as the PDP8A one that would
cycle address info.
The 11/34 series was ok but just plain cheap.
