Re: Many Years Ago
At my college we had several NOVA computers used as printer controllers. Rather than put input devices on all of them we loaded the code into a "master" machine with a tape reader, copied the contents to another core plane and then carried that core plane to the printer controller NOVA. Saved buying a lot of tape readers and the users couldn't load other stuff via a tape reader.
This was really a core dump/load.
