Tomorrow I am turning in my pile of white elephants to the scrapyard.
Of the pile, I only managed to sell one, on Ebay, for less than scrap
value (20 bucks - oh boy...). So away they go. I figure I will hold
one, and make a last ditch sales pitch to clear my conscious.
Anyway, these Megadata minicomputers are pre-microprocessor TTL
designs, and look to be from the mid 1970s. The more I look at the
boards, they look like twelve bit machines. These are rack mount units
about 4U high. These have no fancy front panels - just blue covers
with a reset button, and two LEDs. There are comm ports on the back.
The software is contained on a board with a bunch of 1702A EPROMs. RAM
is an array of 48 2101s. I have zero docs on these.
So anyway, if anyone wants to rescue (in the true sense) this last
Megadata, please contact me TONIGHT, as I leave for the junkyard
around 10 AM tomorrow. And yes, I would like something a bit better
than scrap value...
