The Electrologica X1 is a transistorised computer designed in the Netherlands in 1958. Only around 30 machines were built. It was also one of the first European computers to use Interrupts. Bram J Loopstra and Carel S. Scholtenare are widely regarded as the Designers of the Electrologica X1 Computer. These Read more
Digital pdp11/10. The PDP-11/10 was identical to the PDP-11/05, the only difference being the number on the front panel. No further info at the time.
The 1st Digital pdp11/05 in our collection is a pdp11/05-LA. The pdp11/05 is a 16-Bit Unibus system, introduced in June 1972. This unit is dated 21st February 1974 and has serial number 6491. The pdp11/05 came in two case sizes. This one is in the smaller case designed to be Read more
The Honeywell 112 computer is 12-Bit, built in 1968 to compete with the Digital pdp8. The computer contained 8kbytes of RAM. Much like the Honeywell DDP-516, the computer used Micropacks. These were plug-in modules which contained the logic IC’s used to create the computers ALU and IO section. Also see Read more
We currently have no more information about this Honeywell 716 panel. The 716 computer was the last of the 16 Series, being 16-Bit machines. The Honeywell DDP-116 was the first 16-Bit computer commercially available. Documentation mentions of the 716 being part of a System 700 computer. Information on the 716 Read more
The Honeywell 316 was built in 1969. It came after the DDP-516 as a cheaper alternative. The 316 was significant in the ARPANET. Read more on the DDP-516 page. Other uses of the 316 were industrial process control and data acquisition. Another significance of the 316 was that Charles Moore Read more
The Triumph Adler TA-1000 is a German built computer, first produced in 1973. It can be used as a personal computer and as a terminal computer. Many were used to communicate between offices, uploading the contense of a floppy disc to another machine over the telephone network. The computer board Read more
The Kenbak-1 is considered to be the worlds first “Personal Computer”. That is it didn’t take up half a room, and was designed to be used by 1 person. It wasn’t cheap though at $750 in 1971. That is equivalent to $4,660 (£3,640) in 2019. According to Wikipedia, only 50 Read more
Our pdp8/f has recently undergone some much needed repairs. The date stamped on the front pane PCB is March 17th 1972. This is the first pdp computer to use LED’s on the front panel indicators instead of light bulbs. Unfortunetly over time these have failed, and like-for-like replacements were impossible Read more
