Front panel...

A project log for AMBAP: A Modest Bitslice Architecture Proposal

Trying to unify and simplify a minimal architecture for various implementation technologies...

I just found that picture on eBay, for an IBM S/34 front panel :

I have no idea what a S/34 is, BTW. Maybe a 16-bits machine ? Oh, I should have looked it up first... at http://www.corestore.org/34.htm

However I see that they use hexadecimal rotary buttons, just like the assembler board of #YGREC and that's pretty interesting ! However, is there no disassembly board ?

On ebay? Did you buy it?

Are you sure? yes | no

No, what would I do with it ?

If you like, here it is, ending tomorrow : https://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-System-34-CE-Panel/272983824563

Are you sure? yes | no

Control your S/34, of course!

A nice panel like that makes me want to put something behind it. Even a microcontroller running an emulator.

Are you sure? yes | no

I have already enough to do with my #YGREC8 and the likes ;-)
