Tom -? ?Thanks much for? ?filling in? some of the blanks on the history!? ?Ed# In a message dated 4/23/2019 2:36:37 PM US Mountain Standard Time, t.gardner at computer.org writes: ISS was an independent company in the era (late 60s) of the 714 (IBM 2314 compatible).? It was later acquired by Itel (a leasing company) and then by Univac and sort of disappeared in the 80s. Depending upon your application almost any plug compatible 2314 might work or could be made to work.? The interfaces were very much 2314 like except the PCMs and OEMs didn't use IBMs +/- 1.5v signaling levels on the interface but instead used DTL driver/receiver signaling.? There was also some weirdness in the power sequencing all of which can be worked around if u are up to it.
