I'm not sure CONS ever ran as a stand-alone system; I suspect (but don't recall for sure; RG, TK or Moon or someone could confirm one way or the other) that it ran as a loosely-coupled co-processor to MC, the way the Chess Machine did. The CONS and the Chess Machine were both in the same room; 906-907 or so: https://gunkies.org/wiki/File:9th_floor_techsquare.png When the first CADR was built, its console was in the room next door (in the higher-numbered room direction); I remember watching over Moon's shouulder the night they first tried to boot it.
