Really only a thousand cards?
If it is only a couple thousand cards, why drawerS and cabinetS?
Two thousand cards is one box.
With a couple thousands I mean several thousands. And drawerS and cabinetS
because we got several cabinetS with drawerS with our machine. One drawer
contains three trays that hold about 2000 cards each.
Download our files and count the card yourself!
As an example, the Monitor is stored in three trays.
Tray 1 has 1823 cards, tray 2 has 1887 cards, and tray three has 352
cards. This is only the bare OS! (version V2L12)
Then comes all the other stuff, assembler, FORTRAN, subroutine packages
etc.
