Bull feathers. What do you think the NTDS and LINK-4 were hooked up to?
I may have been an engineer but I spent enough time in CIC to know better.

The SLQ-32 came out in 1979. There was no such thing as NTDS, LINK-4 or
SLQ-32 in the mid 70's. That was before spray rails too. 8 inch floppies
were invented in 1971(?), I doubt you would see them on an FF in 1975. No
computers except a YUK on the helo and an analog gun computer, 18 equations,
18 unknowns. There was a computer for the SQS-26 in the sonar room. I was in
10 years before you were.



Actually there were several TRS-80s in CIC and Fox, and a Mac in
DC-Central back when I was riding around on one of these (mid 1980s),
used for various official functions. Then there were the unofficial
machines... the Chief's mess had an Atari for playing video games, the
ET shop had a PC-Jr, I had a C-64 in the cal lab.
