Ebay item 272914490265
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 communicat
So, I was trying to find info about the early IBM 709/7090/7094 computers, but
when I went to what is supposedly the authoritative work on these computers
(among others):
Charles J. Bashe, Lyle R. Johnson, John H. Palmer, Emerson W. Pugh,
"IBM's Early Computers", MIT Press, Cambridge, 1986
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.

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'?

PS: You really should look at the book
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

Have you checked bitsavers

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.

Please, everyone, I do actually know of BitSavers; you don't need to point me
at it.

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 Al'
