I didn't realize Elke has been aroung that long.

I used to work for them, right before, and after, SSA bought them and
integrated Maintenance Management into BPCS.



Thanx,

RE: Memories of Old IBM Equipment (Was: Jobs running withoutaprogramstack)






Phillips had (briefly) a competitor to the S/32. I migrated the S/32
version
of the Elke maintenance management system to it. That was certainly a
waste
of my time. I'm not sure Phillips ever sold any of those.

Old IBM stuff is cool, but who has written RPG on other than IBM
platforms? I've written it on PCs, Wang VS, Dec VAX, TI DS-990,
Southwest Technical, and Burroughs.

I don't think so. Prior to the 1401 I worked on a IBM RAMAC 305 in the

you don't know what vacuum tubes or PCAM are, then clearly you are not
of my generation. This topic surfaces every now and then. Mention PCAM
and you'd be surprised how many war stories you get.

OK, I guess I have to weigh in on this too and I bet I have you all
beat!

How about an IBM 7080 and 1401 (the latter had no disk drives of course
-
just card or tape input). The 1401 probably had 64K or 32K of memory at
most! You modified programs IN STORAGE to make them take different path,

etc. There were NO consoles.
