And branded. I don't recall that anybody referred to "DASD" connected to our IBM 1401; it was just "disk". Were we just a weird corner (I wouldn't swear they didn't use some weird term like DASD in the manuals, just that none of the people I worked with used it)? Or was that a later term, say from the 360 generation? (When I worked on the 1401, we were in fact well into the 360 generation chronologically, just not at the place I was working; that was in 1969, and we moved from the 1401 to a DEC PDP-11/20 just a couple of years after that.) -- David Dyer-Bennet, [EMAIL PROTECTED]; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
