FW: Rolm Rugged Novas

Does anyone else on the list have a Rolm besides me? I wonder how many are actually in private hands. I have a 1602 that I picked up at the Manassas Va. hamfest a couple of years ago. The fellow that sold it to me claimed that he bought 2 of 'em at a NASA auction, which is believable because it has a couple of tags that proclaim it to be part of a "Spacecraft Simulator". I haven't yet had time to play with it, but I hope to do so sometime this summer. Attaching anything to the mil-spec connectors is going to require a lot of creativity :) -al- acorda(a)1bigred.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Bill Pechter [mailto:pechter@bg-tc-ppp1375.monmouth.com] > Sent: Monday, May 07, 2001 5:30 PM > To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org > Subject: Re: Rolm Rugged Novas > > > > G'day DCC/DG lovers - > > > > I have updated the SimuLogics site with some DCC, Rolm and DG/One info. > > (Its a start, anyway.) > > > > www.SimuLogics.com/nostalgia/rolm/rolm.htm > > I know there's lots of those Rolms still in use by the military. > At least they were everywhere when I field serviced Vax systems at Fort > Monmouth (a hotbed of Army software development) in the mid '80's. > > Bill
