VMS 4 from the "new" TK50s, PDP-ll from those wierd metal-backed cassettes whose name escapes me, TOPS-20 restore from thirteen 1600bpi 9-tracks, created punched-hole carriage control ribbons for a Honeywell-Bull impact printer with a cool glue whose flashpoint was slightly above room temp, and to top it off: Oracle 9iR2 remotely from *three* CDs using the NFS mount/exportfs/edit/exportfs/umount trick.
