The system gave me the impression it was built up with transistors. Any
possibility of that? I don't know the history of the Modcomps to
speculate, but that might put it out of the range of what
first one looks like a lot of Frieden flexowriters... not teletype gear.

I can't tell if it is really disassembled or if

It's just another attempt to make an historical claim for the ENIAC, this time
trying to steal the light away from the Manchester Baby.
That's the dumbest thing I read today.
What are you looking for ?
Have you checked bitsavers
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/7090/
and the subdirectory
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/7090/ce/
for the 7094 there is even more detail

Good stuff! I recently designed a module to build new DS1287 and DS12887
modules from the bare DS1285 and DS12885 ICs:

Just did a small run of 100 boards with the GW-12887-1 part number (they of
course work with the DS1285, though the number would be misleading). It

Just to clarify my understanding of your position, is a system with a CPU
chip (say one of the 68K models) with only ROM not a 'stored program machine'?

I know that this an old thread, but I had another VT100 with broken power
switch and so I dug up what I used to buy.
This has quick connect tabs so it is needs no modifications to fit. It has
a metal handle and feels quite sturdy.

This is a ModComp IIC I think. It's all broken up in parts and half
assembled.
I don't think new it was barely $18,000 though, but some day, maybe the
seller will give up and put up a realistic price. Who knows what's in it
exactly but generally it looks like a
