LOL the raised floor to accommodate the wires :) The CRTs actually look familiar :)

I also worked with a mini computer from Basic4 corp... it ran a proprietary Basic language that was interpreted.. very cool you could fix errors on the fly, point to program line and got to it to restart.. They had keyed files that were way ahead of many ... no compiling ...but tokenized... MAI/BasicFour

The disk drives had removable platter banks.. looked like curling rocks somewhat.. doing a small program loop to seek back and forth distant sectors on the disk pack you could make its cabinet walk across the floor ... not really a good idea :)
