Hmm. Yeah, I've never heard of Nicolet either.
Interesting find!
Nicolet = desirable!
Twenty years ago, they were making high end digital storage
oscilloscopes. I have one of the ones they threw out at work a couple
of years later, when they upgraded to a later Nicolet model. I haven't
done anything with it yet, but it's solidly built, has a bitslice
(4*2901 iirc) processor and a 5.25in floppy drive or two.
