My use was in 1969 and only at Fort Ben. From school, I went to Fort Monroe, VA and worked on a 360/40 running PCP version of OS/360.
I remembered that the 1004 had a plugboard, but I thought that you could also run programs on it. We may have had to assembler the programs on the 1005. The 1005 that we were taught on was the single address machine version. I do not remember being told about a two-address version.

The 1004 was programmed with a plugboard. The 1005 started life as a special plugboard for the 1004. There were two versions of the 1005; a single address machine and a two-address machine. SAAL was Single Address Assembly Language for the single address 1005. >The only thing that I really remember about them is that you had to >know which panel(s) to kick to get the machine to boot. I guess that I was lucky. The only one that I saw was at Ft. MacArthur, and it loaded without any issues. Of course, with my last use in 1968 it might not have worked so well by the time you came around. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
