ALCON:

I remember Magnuson OEM Mainframes could be upgraded by the CE changing a 
number on the CE console (before HMCs and SEs).

The problem was, with no audit trail, companies would bribe CEs to upgrade 
their machines.

Subject: Upgrade by cutting a wire?

I remember hearing that some Amdahl 370 clone was upgradable by cutting a wire. 
Anyone else ever hear this? Can't find a cite on the web.

Just curiosity, no real point to this...! (But it is Friday.)
