  Well... it didn't hurt as much as I thought it was going to..

I have just run "SHUTDN ALL" after two hours of playing with PRIMOS
(on a DEC LA120 running at 300 baud... s-l-o-w...).

  I rescued this system about two months ago, and finally got tired
of it taking up space. It took about an hour to figure out where all
the cables used to go, and the Control Data SMD drive [used as a
paging and swapping drive] needed a little prodding to wake it up,
but the system boots and remembers what it was doing last time it was
on... about six years ago.

  Now to try and make the console port run at a decent speed.

  And, apropos of the Pick discussions, this machine has INFORMATION
loaded and running... haven't messed with it yet, tho..


  Cheers

John
