C'mon feel the noise - F5000 Racing
มุมมอง 1.6K10 ปีที่แล้ว
Intended as a 'budget' race formula, mating production-based engines with GP chassis, Formula 5000 provided some of the most spectacular racing ever. These cars produced similar power to contemporary 3-litre F1 cars, and were perhaps only a little heavier. Many F1 legands of the day also raced F5000. Regardless of what the FIA says, when it comes to racing there really is NO SUBSTITUTE for cubi...
1994 Ferrari 412T1 Feature
มุมมอง 3.8K10 ปีที่แล้ว
Stripped of aerodynamic ground effects and electronic driver aids, for many Formula1 fans these cars were the apex of F1 development. All chassis, engine and gearbox, these relatively simple cars were F1 technlogy at it's accessible best. Ferrari's 412T developed 800 horsepower from it's 3.5 liters at an ear-splitting 15,800 rpm - F1 never sounded better! For Ferrari, who had endured years of r...

Like, the Commodore?
I was an IBM customer engineer in 1967. A colleague and I installed around 20 IBM 1060 Teleprocessing Teller Terminals (one shown in this clip) in various ASB branches across Auckland. I recall that we ran them in offline mode for about 6 months until the online facility was connected. The offline feature was not designed for continuous operation and used to overheat. We had to change the lubricant used to get them to stay up.
Proud of these young women!
The teller terminal at the end of the video was what I used when I worked at a S&L back in the 70’s Brought back good memories
What a great old tug. One should not miss any opportunity to go out on her and experience the history of yester year. Ian
Excellent! Nice video! Nice colors represented too!
I may be a few years late, but the machine you are showing is a 360 model 40, not a 30
Based on what? The documentation for it references the /30
@@machinesthatcount Hi John, I'm too old to be a boomer, and I've worked on all 360 CPUs, except some of the model 9x stuff. Compare the photo at www.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/mainframe/mainframe_2423PH2040.html with www.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/mainframe/mainframe_2423PH2030.html . The 40 had 16 data switches, as the data path through the machine was 2 bytes. More notably, the lamps on the 40 console plugged in from the front, where on the 30 you had to get behind the panel to change lamps, and they shone through the panel. The 30 even had a low pressure red light, that was missing on the 40. Strange, but the ROS unit had air bags that needed to be inflated before the machine would run.
Here's a much nicer photo of the 30 static.righto.com/images/ibm-360/ibm-30-chm.jpg
@@machinesthatcount Actually, the yellow machine you show is indeed a /30, the mac hine you show at the beginning of the video is a 40.
Jerry S yes they’re not the same machine. The documentation that was with the red machine referred to a /30 but I take your advice on that.
Iconic song
Was the Ferrari at the end considered to be an F5000 or were they just letting him race in a different class?
They were just letting him have a run. Nobody was trying too hard, but it was interesting how the F1 car compared for torque etc.
There was nothing else that they could run comfortably with - and even then they weren't well matched, but great to watch nevertheless
I'm not a big fan of American cars in general, but these big V8s do sound wonderful. I'd much rather listen to them than a screaming modern F1 car
Hey John, do you have anything you can link me to about their color choices and how IBM came up with the color and design of the 360? It's such an iconic look but I can't seem to find anything other than a few words here and there. I want to know more about what influenced the design and color choice.
F1 will tell you that the sound of F1 cars is not a part of their appeal, but the sound of this V12 running at 13,000+rpm is raw and visceral. It will be interesting to see how the 2014 cars perform, but they're unlikely to appeal to the audience the way that this generation of cars does.
I just read the wiki these big irons run CP/CMSes, but how in the world did they managed to run VMs on 128KiB?
You only need to up the memory. Thank you Church-Turing hypothesis :D
No that's aaron

Hey I was there at that time. With an exactly similar bike too. Same bike, same colour!
@poobert You're not funny.
for safety reasons..proper gear is a must when riding either at the track or street..
Go Sandra ! :)).............
do they allow you out in normal shoes and jeans/cordura?
Wow! I have a few of those old circuit boards stashed away in a box somewhere... with the same square modules. Might donate them to a museum in a few decades time when they become REALLY ancient. :)
Nice video. thanks!
wow thank's for this video; i have work on this machine :D
wow this and a IBM 1130 I used in the 70's
That girl in purple is hot
It's her bike being worked on.
Very informative video! But what's with the random hot chick in the background (not that I'm complaining)?
