One machine I hear very little about nowadays - the Superbrain.
It was one of the CPM machines that competed with the later PETs and
things, and there used to be one that sat in the librarian's office
where I work. One day I saw it being trundled towards the stores, and
sure enough it appeared in the skip soon afterward.
A little discussion with our procurement (= disposals) people, and the
machine went home with me. It now sits on my shelves, waiting for
someone to give it a boot disk.
Anyone know where to get system disks for this machine? I have one
friend who keeps promising to ask his neighbour (etc....) to get me one,
but said neighbour never seems to be available. Can anyone else get me
a disk? - I will pay all reasonable costs involved, of course.
Philip.

Bloedem Volke unverstaendlich treiben wir des Lebens Spiel.
Grade das, was unabwendlich fruchtet unserm Spott als Ziel.
Magst es Kinder-Rache nennen an des Daseins tiefem Ernst;
Wirst das Leben besser kennen, wenn du uns verstehen lernst.
