Re:Why did old PCs have key locks? (2017) [video] by Animats on Thursday May 09, 2019 @12:06AM (#19865282)
Apollo Domain computers had a key lock. You needed the key to run as their equivalent of "root".

(Apollo machines were early 80s workstations. They ran their own OS, Domain, and had their own two-cable token ring network. Not bad, but too nonstandard.)
