Those little switches, having to have each device in the chain be a different number, etc.

I remember what a slog every little task could be. At the time it was all we knew so it didn’t jump out as much. It’s just “how it was”. But glancing back, 25+ years later…it’s a miracle anything ever got done. That any deadlines were met. But they were.
We have it
really good in 2021 (and have for quite some time).
You haven’t lived until you’ve gone a few rounds with SCSI Syquest drives. I used to have to drive an envelope of them to John Wayne airport on my way home once a month to make the last freight/shipping plane out for the printer in Arizona. And when they received them in AZ, there was no guarantee they’d not arrive “corrupted” in some goofy way and not even open. That happened a couple of times.
How I wasn’t completely grey, and on drugs, at 27 is beyond me.
