Interface Message Processor Serial Number Panel
It's been quite some time now since the actual event at which I took these photos, but I just rediscovered on my hard drive. So what do I do? Process and upload them, of course! Better late than never, right?
This is the little paper panel on the Interface Message Processor, showing that this is the first released IMP and that it was assigned to UCLA. It also shows the IMP as being a model 516 IMP, running IMPLOD (the OS, I presume) version 5232 (written above the crossed-out old version number) released on 5 February 1976 (I think).
I took this photo at the grand re-opening of the original Boelter 3420 lab at UCLA, the birthplace of the Internet, as the Kleinrock Internet Heritage Site and Archive, which will soon open to the public. If you'd like to learn more about the museum, click here.
