Sorry that is before my time:)

What the Heck Is JCL and Why Does It Look So Funny?
I had an Apple ][ with an acoustic coupler. It auto dialed over a
regular telco
dial tone line using a program loaded from a cassette player, or
if one
could
afford it, from an early floppy drive. The college I went to had
a Univac
90/70d. The were 4 student dialup numbers. I could get into one
of those
much like the scene from War Games. It was fun.

Hi John,
Commodore 64 anyone? :-)
Do you know what OS it ran?
Some variant of Microsoft BASIC, in ROM.
Was the HW an x86? Motorola? Apple?
Motorola 8 bit 6510 CPU.
Apple ][ was the 6502(?). And don't forget the Atari 800 (and
lesser
400), which was 6502 based. Or, the one that I had: Tandy / Radio
Shack's TRS-80 (affectionately known as the "trash-80") which was
Zilog Z-80 (superset of Intel 8080) based. Oh, and the
grandfather of
them all (immortalized in "War Games" - how did they get an
acoustic
coupled modem to autodial?????) was the Imsai 8080. Not to mention
many other CP/M-80 machines, such as Comemco and Altair 8800.
These
latter two had the "feature" of being able to toggle individual
bytes
into memory via switches on the box. Damn, I'm old.
I had a buddy (years ago, of course), that did strange and
wonderful (at the time) things with several of them connected
together. No cases, wires everywhere, but pretty cool anyhow
for the
time.
TGIF, else I'd be in trouble. :-)
