Um. Yeah.

 

Are you suggesting that I should have seen them BEFORE then, or are you
asking about subsequent ones?

The System/36 at our company had a mechanical "life system" in it where
in you attached a ratchet to a hex head crank and ratcheted the disc
pack up so you could get at the guts underneath it.

 

First time I saw a computer that needed sockets the same size I used on
my car engine.

I've got one of those in my garage to save for posterity. Weighs about
100 pounds and the drive motor is 1/3 horsepower. Was 'huge' too, by the
standards of the day - 550MB. It had 4 each 14" platters. When I retired
the VAX it was attached to I pulled the other one apart and most of us
in the company signed a platter and presented it to the company owner &
president to remember the VAX by.

We still have is run in the walls but Thank God all the hardware that
used it is gone.  System 36 and what a nightmare that was.
