I am not old enough to have used the 1620, so I am getting
tired of all this 1620 stuff. My first computer was a SR-52
from Texas Instruments.
If I held it near my AM radio, it would make noise. It was
always the same type of noise so I was never able to play music.
For mass storage I had magnetic cards. Programs were limited
to 224 steps. However, it was possible for a true hacker to
make his program swap into data memory, gaining some steps that
way. I also did some overlays on magnetic cards.
Seriously, perhaps it is time to start a new newsgroup, say
net.unix-wizards.senile for people who want to talk about their
old machines?
