My first experience was with a Wicat, which ran a version of PICK, in the mid 1980's. I didn't have a clue about the software as I was solely hardware in that lifetime. But, people would seem to get upset if you turned the machine off at the wall...
My actual first time was with an ADD's. (Why does this sound like college talk?). Which then lead me to the Altos series of PICK machines. I ended up supporting a ALTOS 68000 series with 3x380MB ESDI drives, dual 68020/30 processors, and 4MB (?) of ram. The motherboard was alpha (fresh from the work desk of some boffin in Altos), including mod's via handwoven wire wraps; the software was beta via an on-site support/programmer keeping it all together; and me swapping boards in and out in the wee hours of the morning. It supported 70 odd users. All in Melbourne, Australia. Those were the days. djm FFT2001 wrote: > > By the way, believe it or don't...
