Hi Christian, I sent you a message off-list, I think I have a line on some information for you.

RE: Digico computer
Hallo Christian Wie gesagt, ich habe 1974 mit diesen Systemen gearbeitet. Ich würde gerne wieder einen Lauf sehen. Ich glaube, du bist in der Nähe von Stuttgart. Ich lebte 1969/70 in Maichingen. Ich komme zwar mehrmals im Jahr nach Deutschland, aber nach Friedricshafen für einen Urlaub. Was kann ich machen um zu helfen. Wenn Sie Zugang zu den ICL-Dokumenten erhalten und sie in Großbritannien sind, könnte ich sie scannen.
