Both the Multi 8 and the Multi 6 Alain found were
licensed designs of
Microdata systems. The Multi 4 that he has excellent photos of is a 1600,
which is documented on bitsavers.org under Microdata and 1600.
I believe, but do not have proof yet of that the Multi 8 was an 800. I am
researching that thru some of the original Microdata people who were there
when the deals were done.
Going back to Alain's web page, I see that now--thanks for pointing
it out.
Do you know if the Multi 4 is a "strict" implementation of the 1600?
That is, does is contain any unique "enhancements" over the 1600?
I recall an associate who had worked with the Microdata Reality
systems in the insurance industry who was very fond of them.
Cheers,
Chuck
