I also early on used PDPs for nearly 10 years.....tall rack mounted one. I
still remember how I cursed when it had to be moved from one building to next
door, when I found out the rack was 1/4" taller than the lift doors. That
meant the whole thing had to be dissasembled to move it.
The PDP was the only computer I came across smart enough to put this error
message as it died - on a console screen when someone accidentally turned of
the main system power.
"?MON-F-Power Failure"
Thats the computer equivalent of Shakespeare "The rest is silence"
It ended up in a dump bin in the mid 1990's. But not for long. Most of it
was taken by scavengers by the next morning. Hope they knew what they were
getting!
