@ret @tencate The CM-5 was a great zig-zagging black wall of computronium, with blinkenlights on the narrowest edge (the blinkenlights were actually driven by an x86, though it could pick up real signals from the internal network and bus). Unlike the CM-2, for which the lights had a program-dependent meaning under the control of the programmer, the CM-5 lights actually had labels.
