RE: Operating system name

Yes, we had a 1403 and then a 1403N1 (Nancy1) with the automatic lid. You had to make sure nothing was sitting on the top of the printer when you lifted it. Especially the Nancy1, if you accidently hit the "Lift"? button.

Joe,
And wasn't it loads of fun when you had placed something on the lid of the
1403 (like hot coffee or a box of cards) and it ran out of paper?

Or how about when the control tape was too worn and it kept forms feeding until it was stopped or ran out of paper.

Regarding the MFCU, yes I *did* have another name for it. Especially when there was a card jam and one of the cards was mangled.

Lots of fun. NOT :)
