Dear List
Not through any sense of nationality and
being a collector of
an American brand anyway. The other day I was
pondering life, the
universe and other trivia (programmers do a lot of
pondering). When it
crossed the empty acres of my mind that there was
very little discussion
of UK designed and manufactured computers. If we
exclude ICL -> Fujitsu
and other main frames for now I can only think of a
few:
RAIR Black box (I knew them very well
as they were a
customer of mine whilst I was at DEC)
Research Machines
Acorn
Atom
Newbrain (When I said
"What I need is a
NewBrain" everybody agreed )
Digico (I worked on
those) Had a hand
operated paper tape reader. You pulled the tape
through the reader.
Does anybody have examples of these and any I may
have missed?
