#80 — Sr. Server Engineer (Vintage Systems) at Living Computer Museum, Vulcan Inc., Seattle

By way of preface, you may have seen an article in the Wall Street Journal
last month about Paul Allen's collection of vintage mainframe and minicomputer
systems, devoted in particular to my colleague's travels in Australia to
look for a 7094 (which turned out to be a 7090) and a System/360.  We have
acquired a 360/40, along with another manufacturers' large systems, and need
to add someone to our team.

   As i vaguely remember the 7090, the logic cards used discreet 
Germanium PNP transistors.
   And before the modifications making it a 7094 and then extending it, 
the maximum memory was 1Meg with three index registers.
