Sounds like my days as a contract programmer for Burroughs; had the keys to the building and the combination to the (large) machine room and did all my compiling etc. in the night when I was the only one in the building. Some pictures somewhere of a much younger me at the console of a B2700...
The good old days when no one worried about security... Still have some blank 96 col cards somewhere, as well as edge-punched (PPT format) and 80 col tab cards. m ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pete Lancashire via cctalk" <[email protected]> To: "General" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 23, 2018 1:39 AM Subject: damn .... > https://photos.app.goo.gl/EfDc3rRMfyfTNdgw2 > > From my days at Burroughs writing hardware test programs > > 96 col cards were the standard on the later 1700's > > I had full access from midnight to 7AM but the shop was window only > until the next night. > > Turn around time during the day could be as much as 4 hours. > > -pete
