Are there any brazilians on this list?

Alexandre, You sent me an email on November 10 saying "Hey, nice to see you are on this list too" in Portuguese, remember? :-) If there are any more of us here, I would like to ask if anybody has technical details about machines like the Cobra 530 minicomputers. I have learned much about all kinds of old machines, specially through the documentation available in BitSavers. But the only local stuff I have found was a non technical thesis about the "Patinho Feio" which cites some technical texts about that and the G-10 machines. All other information I have is from historical books and newspaper articles. While it is interesting to read that the Cobra 530 was more advanced than the other 16 bit minis of the time, I would rather judge for myself. After all, they say more or less the same thing about Cobra's SOX (Unix clone) and my experience with it was that it wasn't very good at all. -- Jecel p.s.: a week ago a new science museum was opened in my town (S?o Carlos, SP). Though it isn't that large, there is space that could be used to have a computer museum and there are several people interested in making that happen.
