OK, so this thread pushed my to pursue playing with DT/6000. If anyone has documentation on how exactly everything fits together, please let me know...if someone miraculously has a copy of DT/6000 in their archive, I could use a copy.
Feel free to ping me off list to keep the noise here down. --- Jim Stefanik Dallas Vintage Computing Center ________________________________ From: Jay Jaeger via cctech <cct...@classiccmp.org> Sent: Monday, 18 February 2019 15:48 To: cct...@classiccmp.org Subject: Re: IBM 3174 C 6.4 Microcode Disks?
