When I began my undergrad at QMC in 1986 Stern Hall

I did find it amusing that the bit-serial graphics processor
circuitry, not fitted in later versions of the mainboard, was actually
slower than doing the operations on the 32016....
I remember by my third year a whole bunch were
unusable because the
keyboard had failed (and WCW were some version of defunct).
Too late now, but those keyboards were actually standard Keytronics
ones, and not at all hard to repair.
