MIST1121/BLIPPYPIXEL-IBM360

A mainframe computer circa 1965 entails a room full of machinery boasting flashing lights and controls on front panels alongside spinning reels of magnetic tape. Just don t press the big red button!

Mistigram: [profile] blippypixel has drawn this #BBCMicro animation of a #mainframe computer suite (and its 9-track vacuum column magnetic tape drives!) from the flexible #IBMSystem360 family of machines, sold for a bit over a decade starting in 1965. This piece was included in the MIST1121 artpack collection.
