The 4x line used part number 02640-60202 for the power supply. Funny how
SOME things you CAN remember!

I remember that jukebox program. I first saw it in our computer center
during an open house event. Chuck Shimada was in charge of the computer
room and he had set it up.
I also remember the 'invaders' and the 'driving' games for the 2645 and
2647 terminals. I still have the files but no access to the terminals, I
donated the power supply out of my 2645 in order to save our 2647 with the
basic interpreter that was used to generate some structure charts.
Subsequently the 2647 was scrapped,I never got back my power supply and
the 2645 followed the fate of the 2647.
If anyone wants the game files, I can make them available.
