Herb, That's Connor's 5110. His particular model didn't come with the built- in quicktape drive... not like that would matter, all those tapes are broken now anyway. So without the external 8" disk unit, we have no way of loading or storing programs on/from it. It supports BASIC and APL, but without disk our any kind of I/O really isn't useful. We don't have any Selectric terminals yet. Instead, we have an IBM Memory Typewriter (which uses a big magnetic ribbon to store up to 50 form letters) and an IBM Correcting Selectric II, both Connor's. Not shown is my baby, the 6262 impact printer used by VM development for _all_ of their kernel source code and dumps between the years 1988 and 2012. Its sitting in storage in Building 001 along with its' full- size 3174 control unit, waiting for the day when we can get a line item budget and convince management to give us some 240V and three-phase power. After 2012, the 6262 developed constant jamming issues that the Ricoh guy claimed he "couldn't fix". I'm hoping its more a matter of IBM having sold the printer people to Ricoh and the now-Ricoh guy not caring enough like the old IBM CEs did.

The 5100 caught my eye, what features, how operational? Do you have a Selectric terminal on site? I used one in the era for SPICE simulation under TSO on some campus 360. Good to see some other printing technology. Regards Herb Johnson
