Mine is a vax 3900 (very common to you guys).
Also I have a Modicon P230 Programmer (XT compatible
portable computer with EGA amble mono monitor), but
somebody 'upgraded' it to a 486. I will have a NEC v25
emulator (looks like a portable computer) if I buy it
From:
"Vintage Computer Festival" <vcf(a)siconic.com>
They have a *very* well done restoration page.
Cool project! However, I
don't believe their claim to have the only
original
Alto left in existence
is accurate.
Hi
I was just wondering. What people on this list
consider their
rarest computers in their collections. Here is my
list from a warehouse.
vax, 3900
1. Nicolet 80 ( 20 bit mini with core. working
condition. Only know
of 2 others. I doubt there are
more than 10 left
anywhere. )
2. SIM-4 4004 development system ( most likely
fewer than 30 left. Running.
I only know of 2 others. )
3. Olivetti M-20 ( Few in the US but maybe a couple
hundred in Europe.
Z8000 processor. Runs )
4. Jupiter Ace ( Several hundred most likely exist
but unusual in that
it had Forth in ROM. Runs )
5. NC4000 Delta Board ( Most likely only 100 around
but most have no
idea as to the collectable nature.
These might be
found in embedded system. These are
unique in that they
have the Forth processor on them
that was designed by
NOVIX and Chuck Moore. A 4 Mhz
processor could run rings
around a 33MHz 80386 of its time.
Things like sorting
1000 integers in 19.2ms )
