If it's a Univac I, I want it :-)
That's what its labeled. Coleman's Surplus is at 360 Klinger Rd,
Millersburg, PA 17061. Their web site is at <www.colemans.com>. No clue
how much they wanted for it, but getting it out of there is the _real_
problem. Of course, getting it to California might be kind of
challenging as well. :-)
I really don't know much about the
history of the Univac, but the same name was used for a bunch of quite
different machines I think. The first one was the direct descendent of
the ENIAC, so no, the "Uni" in Univac has nothing to do with Unix, if
that's what you're thinking.
Yes, that's what I was thinking.
It sounds like quite a cool graveyard, though.
I felt like quite the computer archaeologist. :-)
