There would also be a bank of switches and lights on the processing unit cabinet, used to select a boot medium, entry point address, etc. Before about 1975, operator consoles were typically teletypes with a paper roll log, and the RS232 cabling and protocol were almost universal, so the I/O for the console was simple. | |
