I think we got the 3rd 360/50 produced. It wouldn't come up and they escalated up the chain all the way to Armonk. Some gruff old 'specialist'-with stogie was flown in. We had a couple of storage oscilloscopes and his basic diagnosis was that it hadn't been 'timed'. So he set about to sync the clock cycles and about half way thru an SE says "I found the bug!"(Similar to Grace Hopper's moth). Big ol cockroach crawled across the side panel. Both were escorted from the room.
