- GartzenDeHaes 5y agoHave you ever tried to connect an IBM mainframe to an HP Non-Stop (Tandem) mainframe? Some developer figured out a way to do it without spending millions on new mainframe software. The key piece of the kludge was a windows interface to the IBM RPC service that both had a USB dongle and wouldn't run on anything newer than Windows 2000. This was something she had done as a maintenance request and no one else really knew anything about it, until it failed 10 years later. The server people did ask everyone who should know about the PC, so it wasn't just a plug pull.
