Hi
Odd request this but does anyone know of a source of the background sounds of a typical 60/70/80's mainframe computer room. I was after something ambient I could have playing whilst running the simulated operator consoles of the couple of mainframe emulators I use (IBM 370 and ICL 1900). My first stop was Youtube videos such as the ones of the IBM 1401 that the Computer History Museum at Mountain View have, but there is always the poster talking over it. I could fabricate something (random air con units etc) but someone 'real' would be nice.
Regards
Neil
