- Collection of classic 1970's "blinkenlight" panels
Early computers had console panels with switches and lights to operate the processor and peripherals directly. These panels were the physical interface between processor and human operators, they were designed as eye-catchers. Some are icons of industral design. When the ancient computers were scrapped, often somebody rescued at least the processor panel. On exhibition are the panels of some great 1970's machines: PDP-10, PDP-11, PDP-12, PDP-15, Data General Nova, IBM S/370, Honeywell H632. Three panels are connected to simulations of the system they once belonged to (google for "Blinkenbone"), so they can be used to enter and run little assembler programs by hand. Also shown is the famous "idle pattern" of a DEC RSX-11 system. Jörg Hoppe, stand 24
