Panda TOPS20 networking trouble
I'm having loads of trouble getting networking going with the Panda Distribution of TOPS20 and KLH10.

I have a lot of 1800 docs, maybe I can find the actual hardware there. Bill

Re: What is this System 360 peripheral/maintenance console?
Will's right - the 16-bit register display should have been a tipoff. See http://www.dvq.com/1800/1800.htm for lots of images. 1800->industrial control version of the 1130. --Chuck On 3/2/20 7:32 AM, Bill Degnan via cctalk wrote: > oh, not 360?

Christian I believe that is the type of terminals that my school (Skövde Sweden) had when i was there in 1987-88. (PRIME 9955 II and Medusa) Similar here - the uni I was at in Scotland had one of those big Primes and a single Westward terminal running the CAD/CAM (Medusa) stuff. Just a big colour serial temrinal by todays standards, but must have cost a small fortune back then. It had a graphics tablet with a 4 button puck with magnifier to help accurate digitisation of existing engineering drawings as I recall. Gordon
Re: What is this System 360 peripheral/maintenance console?
I had something very similar to this. http://vintagecomputer.net/ibm/360/scp/ Obviously not the same thing, but there must have been many similar-looking grey devices engineers took with them to diagnose/install/upgrade/test 360 components.

What is this System 360 peripheral/maintenance console?
I was watching this video on highway construction in the 1960's (as you do) and noticed what appears to be a System 360 console, that I couldn't place. Presumably it's some peripheral or CE maintenance panel. I didn't find it in the Physical Planning Guide (not that that's comprehensive) nor from perusing google images. I'm a little curious as to what it is. It's at 23:13 in https://youtu.be/apWSa6QlrTg?t=1393 Thanks Steve.
