« on: January 19, 2018, 08:31:30 PM »
Has anyone here worked on the ancient SX2000 Dark with the black cabinets and the entire shelf of control cards . When we retired those and put in 2000 lights it was HAPPY days .

I started with the SX2000 back in 1986 (I think that was the year)
The software version was E stream.
The cabinets were bigger than most refrigerators.
I put a few of those in.

Life is so much better now.

That was back in the days when some systems didn't have voice mail.  "They'll answer the damn phone!"

ONS and COV integrations.  Even did some with E&M integration.

I remember the pain of backing up and loading software to/from 8 inch floppies.
Then tape.  If I remember correctly, there was a bug in the backup software in one of the first versions of the light where it looked like it backed up but didn't.  That caused us to have to reprogram a switch from scratch.

BTW: I take credit for installing the first non-beta Light Switch in the US.  Another dealer in CA cut over the same day but we're 4 hours ahead.  ;)

I remember the 8 inch floppies fondly when working on ROLM 8000s , FDMP 0 listening to drive clicking . Programming from a silent 700 at 300 baud .
