OK folks, looks like we have some critical mass here so Let me run this past the Steering Committee before we burn too much attention and manpower on the idea. Its all about priorities of course. In the mean time, I'll just take a look over the warehouse closer and check in with Kelly and add this to my active Museum and Warehouse projects. -DC On 8/18/2022 10:36 AM, Ian Litchfield wrote:
I'd be interested in helping to get it to run. I am fairly decent with wire-wrapping tools, soldering and I am pretty handy with a multimeter. Even if it's just cleaning the thing up and lugging it around the warehouse I'll spare some time. I live close to Wall, NJ so let me know!
I don't know alot about the machine, but it sounds like it would be fun to learn about.

Unbelievable. Adam was just showing me this in the warehouse. I was was thinking at that moment I'd love to see this working, and it would be wonderful unique addition to the museum to complement the Data General, Wang, and HP. I was formulating plans in my head to expand the mini section. Personally I find it very interesting when microprocessors followed the architecture of a prior implementation. Which is something I'm highlighting when I can. So yes please!
