I stand corrected... Pr1me : ) And yes, Dataproducts 300lpm's and one 600lpm now that you mention them.
Let's not forget the one piece ADDS Regent 40 terminals. They were fun to lug around to different departments. I remember being SO excited when we went with Viewpoint 60s. The last Prime system I worked on was the big 6550. Memory boards the size of a 32 inch LCD TV. Gary P.

One of my first projects in 1985 was to make program adjustments for how the SETPTR statement changed at PI 5.4.1, on a Pr1me 750 running Primos 18. I think we only had two drives....I used to have one of the 300MB disk packs around here somewhere (used to use 'em for class tours). Two of the 300lpm rebranded dataproducts printers, decollators, detacher, Micom port selector...... and no viruses! :-) Drew -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [ mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of gcan...@promutualgroup.com Sent: Monday, February 07, 2011 11:55 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Pick Dinosaurs Started in 1984 as a Computer Operator on a Prime 750 running Primos 18.? and Information 5.4.

Carrying them, 9 on an arm to our offsite location was always a treat. 2-part Decollator, always efficient when you have a few boxes of 4-part carbon reports.
