Ah, the mighty 11/60; boy, but that takes me back. We bought one to replace our ageing /40, and I was fascinated by its octal display (yes, I wrote an idle loop to shift its digits back and forth; there should be an article somewhere in the AUUG archives). Story time: DEC were flogging the /60s real cheap here in Oz, because a deal with a major publisher (Murdoch? Packer? Who knows?) fell through at the last moment, and they had an entire warehouse to shift. Trivia: the thing was micro-codeable, and I had dreams of implementing the Unix call/return sequences as single instructions, but I never did get a round tuit. -- Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Those who don't understand security will suffer."
