1 IBM system/34, dual disk and cabinet extensions. Price $51

But that was a few years ago. Only have the empty cabinets now, as shed cupboards.

149688 2003-06-05 09:20:00 In 1964 I used to work with Hollerith punch cards with Ferranti in Edinburgh - 'my memory' now will not remember what 'their memory' was capable of back then though ! Seemed magical at the time. Programming consisted of many small cables crossing over each other in quite a logical sequence - set into sockets set out in a peg like board
(seems like several lifetimes ago).
