2012-07-06 SAC Computer Center, Level 6 minis Oct 1981

The Honeywell minicomputers were located in the room next door, behind the left door.  My shop was behind the right door.

The level 6 minis (behind the sliding glass doors) had Multics OS, and had a 4 character hexadecimal memory display and keypad on the protruding ‘ledge’.  When the Level 6 crashed, it would jump to a memory location and halt.  The hex display would then display that location: DEAD.
