Re: Operating system name

SYS/3, MOD 6. No CRT. Keyboard, printer, 22"? cartridges held 250k?, OCL was important because all user input/output was through the keyboard/printer. Is it possible that the CPU memory was 5k, 3 of those k reserved for the system, all user programs ran in 2k, with overlays?

My first machine. 3741 diskette keypunch. 1403 band printer. Removable disk packs. 5424 MFCU (which may or may not have stood for "multi-function" depending on the day).

Bursting multi-part printouts and putting them into boxes.

Yeah, I'm old too. :)
