Relocation (computing) image

Hi Peter, regarding real-time computing, I was thinking of manual braking, but anti-lock has the computerized ABS anti-lock braking system, which does mean it qualifies as a valid example. It's the speed sensor monitoring that qualifies it in real-time. Good call. MM MightyMaven (talk) 06:53, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've just been reading the Relocation_(computing) article, and noticed a minor error in this nice table you made:

The first address in the first machine code box should be 0, not 1.

As it's an image rather than text, could you please fix this when you have the time?

TOS 360

There wasn't a lot of comment, but it seems like your TOS 360 merge idea is approved (See Talk:TOS/360). Due to a huge 3-year backlog, WP Merge is not able to perform it for you. So, please go ahead and do the merge yourself. The general process:

1. I would suggest that you open each article in tabs on your web browser, and hit the edit button on both.
2. Cut content out of TOS 360 and paste to DOS 360.
3. Once the content has been moved, save DOS 360 with the edit summary "Merged in TOS/360".
4. On TOS/360, delete everything and replace with "#REDIRECT [[DOS/360 and successors]] {{R from merge}}". Use "Redirect after merge to DOS/360 and successors" as an edit summary.
5. On Talk:TOS/360, add "{{merged-to|DOS/360 and successors|date you merged}}" to the top of the page.
6. On Talk:DOS/360 and successors, add "{{merged-from|TOS/360|date you merged}}" to the top of that page.

The merged-to and merged-from tags are important due to our copyright (see WP:Merge and delete), which requires that page histories are always preserved as long as they are used in articles.

IBM 2741

The code chart is a nice add. Do you have the codes for shift in, shift out, space, circle-C, etc.? How about the "correspondence" code? I'll do the table work if you can ship me a reference chart... I ditched my 2741 manuals decades ago. Jeh (talk) 00:54, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A question about Grand Union Hotel (Saratoga Springs, New York)

I noticed your edit noting the proposed hotel at Congress Plaza. The coordinates on the article show that the hotel was on the site of the current building, 321 Broadway aka Congress Park Centre, which houses Cold Stone, the Gap, etc. I don't think the Grand Union was at the Congress Plaza site because that is not on Broadway, it is set back about a block.

About Software Engineering Associates, Inc.

Hello Peter_Flass! I've noticed that you have created an article about the company mentioned in the heading of this section. At first, it seems to me an article compatible with the A7 criteria for speedy deletion, because the article "does not indicate why its subject is important or significant". Since you are an experienced editor, instead of just requesting a speedy deletion I'm contacting you to understand whether the article could be modified to provide one or more hints about the importance or notability of the discussed subject. Best regards! LowLevel73^(talk) 03:50, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Honeywell Level 6

Thanks for creating the Honeywell Level 6 page, which I've contributed to today. I joined Honeywell "L6TAC" (Level 6 Technical Assistance Centre) as a graduate in 1984 and worked on this series through to when I left to join IBM in 1991, still have good knowledge and fond memories of it. I'm also still in touch with many co-workers from this time so I think it's possible to contribute a lot to this article from our collective memories. I'll spread the word. The main challenge is being able to find suitable citations from this pre-WWW era. The only reasonably detailed and accurate citation for the Unix coprocessor is blacklisted on Wikipedia (have added it to the talk page for now).

An anecdote for Christmas: The GCOS 6 Office Automation System (WP6 / OAS / ONE Plus) word processor was actually written in an interpreted language created specially for the purpose, called "Gospel". Needless to say, the interpreter, built into the word processing executable, was called "The Preacher". Best wishes Sandvika (talk) 17:34, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"...but I still like the jacquard loom because of its use of punched cards."

The Jacquard loom never read a punched card. The loom read a paper tape. Look at the tape; on each side you'll see the sprocket holes used to pull the tape through the loom. Yes, the tape was constructed from punched cards - but the loom DOESN'T KNOW THAT. The loom is reading what it thinks is a paper tape, technology developed by Bouchon in 1725. Jacquard only made a sturdier, easier to copy and repair, tape (and other changes to the loom itself).

Essinger's "book" - got him prizes and a lot of money. Look at page 159 where he states Hollerith never left "a single word of writing". That claim let Essinger write whatever he wanted - attributing Hollerith's work to the loom. Now look at Austrian's biography of Hollerith, p.15, where Hollerith's writing is reprinted. (So we know that Essinger did not read as far as p.15 or ignored it to make more spectacular claims). The distinction between the loom and the punch photograph is the difference between command (loom) and data (punch photo). Which no one awarding prizes seems to have been aware of. Nor is Essinger aware of it.

50.136.242.131 (talk) 20:39, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

One distinction between cards and tape is that you can insert/remove cards from a deck easily, while for paper tape you punch a whole new tape. But then again, paper tape might be cheaper. As well as I know, Jacquard used cards attached together, but they could be detached for insert/remove editing. I don't know when continuous rolls of paper were first created such as needed for paper tape or continuous form printers. Gah4 (talk) 23:40, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Advice on DFP and DFSMS

As a result of the lack of consensus on removing the redirect of Storage Management System and System Managed Storage to create articles on the DFSMS components and then reopen the issue. User:Deb changed Data Facility Product to #REDIRECT [[MVS/SP]] with the comment (redirect until such time as there is a claim to notability - currently no context and no references). My contents were

Data Facility Product is a program product for MVS/SP that incorporates code from, replaces and extends several other packages.
  
* 5740-AM7 Data Facility Device Support (DFDS)
  
* 5740-XYQ Data Facility Extended Function (DFEF)
  
* 5740-AM3 Sequential Access Method Extended (SAM-E)
  
* 5740-AM8 Access Method Services Cryptographic Option
  
* 5748-UT2 Offline 3800 Utility
  
IBM offered 5665-295 MVS/370 Data Facility Product Version 1 as an option extension to MVS/SP Version 1, but 5665-284 MVS/XA Data Facility Product Version 1 is a corequisite for MVS/SP V2, and all subsequent versions of DFP are corequisites for the versions of MV/SP that they support.

In addition to replacing part of the device support in the base MVS/SP, DFP replaces the Linkage Editor and several utility programs and service aids.

DFP is no longer available as a separate product, but has become part of Data Facility System Managed Storage, under the name DFSMSdfp.

Crash Dump

Why do you feel my addition of DHCP "doesn't fit"?

Are you aware of what that facility was/is used for?

Thank you DGerman (talk) 04:03, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Splat! Yes I did mean DHCP (and/or BOOTP). Option 14 provides the provision for specifying a "Merit" dump file location for example

tftp://192.168.1.10/stb_1011.0101.0120.4025.img

This option is present in every DHCP definition (I could find). I believe it was originally used for X-stations and other diskless systems for the coredump (well memory anyway ) when they crashed.

The only reference I was able to find to Merit interpol(sp) NFSNET network was University of Michigan computing center , computing news Jan 1988

http://www.gctglobal.com/documents/iptv125/Operation_Guide.pdf from 2011/10/21 states: If any kind of fail during auto recovery, the STB can have a second chance to recover by DHCP option. Set the upgrade URL in DHCP option 14 (Merit-dump file)...

JES2 Introduction quotes in Remote job entry

In the process of editing Remote job entry to add NJE text, I deleted your quotes from z/OS JES2 Introduction, SA32-0994-00[1], as they were specific to JES2. It might be appropriate to add them to the references section, using the quote keyword of {{cite manual}}, although I'd feel more comfortable about that if I had equivalent quotes for, e.g., RSCS. Or maybe this.[2]

Also, a lot of these manuals are available either as downloadable PDF or as HTML in the IBM Knowledge Center. I find the PDF version more convenient in general, but with the HTML I can provide a section-url in the {{cite}}.

I noticed you were editing the Infobox logo area. I have a sketch of the original Convergent Technologies logo that I made myself by using Microsoft' Paint. I've tried to upload it without success. If you could tell me how to get it onto the Talk page for Convergent Technologies, Inc. I will do it so we can decide whether to use it or not.

Your edit to SQUOZE

In your recent edit to SQUOZE, you redlinked SCAT assembler and made no other change. You had "[http://www.davidsalomon.name/assem.advertis/asl.pdf David Solomon, ''Assemblers and Loaders'')" (sic) in the description but did not add it to the references. Are you planning on writing the missing article on SCAT? Did you mean to add "David Solomon, Assemblers and Loaders to Further Reading? Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Re-instating sock edits

I reverted a WP:SOCK (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Changingguardsatbuckinghampalace, Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Changingguardsatbuckinghampalace/Archive). This sock has a history of disruption on paid editing, so this was the reason, in accordance with WP:BANREVERT. Your reinstatement of the edit may be legitimate, however per WP:PROXYING you "take complete responsibility for the content." In this particular case, where the sockpuppet added a bunch of references to the article (and did nothing else), you should verify that the references actually say what they are using to source in the article.--Eostrix  (^🦉 hoot _hoot🦉) 06:12, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

BOS/360

Originally IBM was going to ship a 16 KiB version of BOS/360, and DOS/360 was an interim placeholder. Wekk, we all know that nothing lasts as long as a temporary expedient. I'm not sure whether BOS belongs in DOS/360 article, and I have know idea of where to find a reliable source for the history. Given that, use your own judgement. --Shmuel (Seymour J.)
