Re: What is this System 360 peripheral/maintenance console?
Here's my contribution to this topic: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iidmMNXV3arCqlMmJdzWNFwgtrjDjpt6 Our national broadcasting company visited my unofficial museum and filmed my computer collection for the documentary "Lada, Laika, Marx ja mä". You can see there the 1800 running a simple program. More photos of the 1800 is in my blog. - Johannes Thelen Finland Before microcomputers blog (Finnish) http://ennenmikrotietokoneita.blogspot.fi/ From: cctalk on behalf of Steve Malikoff via cctalk Sent: Tuesday, March 3, 2020 12:40 PM To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Subject: Re: What is this System 360 peripheral/maintenance console? > On Mon, Mar 2, 2020 at 10:51 AM Chuck Guzis via cctalk < >> 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 >> > Thank you, I will update how I have it documented on the web site.

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?

oh, not 360?

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.
