Just picked up some operator manuals that came out of UMD recently that I'm waiting to upload. Still remember the 1106's weird console clock that counted in decimal seconds. A friend worked at the UMD computer center, and he told me they ran their 1108 'blind' since Sperry maintenance couldn't fix their console printer or Uniscope any more. They ran the same batch jobs, and the operators knew what tapes to mount even without the console prompts. I spent most of my time at UWM in front of PDPs and BSD Vaxen there fortunately, though. Half-duplex terminals were no fun WAIT LAST INPUT IGNORED
