The First

[=OG=ahab]

I found this online. These were the first computers I ever worked on.

Behold the 3B20D:

"The 3B20 came in two variations -- 3B20S (simplex) and 3B20D (duplex hardware). The 3B20D is used for a variety of purposes, including SSP, SS7, billing systems, the Administrative Module of the 5ESS, an adjunct to the 1AESS and 4ESS. The multiple cabinets of the 3B20D were replaced by a 2-shelf 3B21D software compatible version. In some later systems, including the 5ESS VCDX, the 3B20D software runs on a standard Sun Microsystems computer using a custom software emulator of the 3B20D hardware. Ironically, the software runs faster in emulation mode than on the native hardware because the 3B20D is only a 1 MIP machine."

I also worked on the Amdahl 5890 running UTS (Unix for a mainframe) but can only find one tiny picture.
