Cray YMP-EL start up after VCFe 2018

Last year we mainly took care of the CDC 960. It’s time to continue with the small Cray.

Unicos up and running

The Cray is running, I am very happy that there was no bigger problem. Now we can take care of the UNICOS and the network.

IBM 360-65 and 360-44 Operator Consoles

IBM 360 consoles, 360-65 & 360-44

We got two IBM consoles.
From the IBM 360-65 and the 360-44, the special thing about the 44 is that it is labeled in German.

Thanks Wolfgang Kainz- Huber for the quick reaction and the organization.

In the future we will probably build a 360 emulation with a RaspberryPI to make the consoles “blink”.
