Wow, never heard of them? Dating back to the 80s, they've made
(and still make, as far as I'm aware) some of the finest digitizing
oscilloscopes that money (a LOT of it) can buy. They also made quite
a bit of CAMAC equipment.
Check the archives for this list, they've been discussed before.
I think Sellam has one or two. The company itself is still around
in Madison, WI, but I believe they've undergone various spin-offs
and buy-outs or name changes. I think they're www.thermo.com now
but were thermonicolet.com before that. I have a few friends who
work there. I did a collecting run there once upon a time, but not
for Nicolet equipment. I actually can't remember what I got. :-)
Among other products, for a while they had an edge with specialized
FFT hardware, until gigahertz processors could do as much as quickly.

A kind
list member in my area has offered me a Nicolet 660 computer
Hmm. Yeah, I've never heard of Nicolet either. Interesting find!
