IDX 3000 Hex Chart

Just in case someone needs to know what the value of decimal (75) is in Hexadecimal (4B) or Binary (0100 1011).

This was something you needed to know to manage the IDX-3000 x.25 Packet switch. 3000 was the number of Async. ports a single IDX processor could support. Later IDX created a way to link two IDX-3000 processors together.

We used the IDX-3000 to distribute Asynchronous based terminals across the campus. This was parallel to the Engineering Sytek and replacing the Computer Center PAC-X packet switch.
