Is the IBM System/1 the same as an IBM Series1 ? As I recall from my Pick
days, in the Pick environment at least this system was configured as a FEP
for Pick/370 on a 4331 or could run a standalone system running a different
version of Pick from CDI. If this is the system I'm thinking of, it had a
rather large programmers front panel that was a square pressure sensitive
membrane keypad. I remember it made a totally obnoxious dull "bleep" each
time a key on the keypad was pressed....
