I'm looking for anyone who collects CompuGraphic
equipment. My
grandfather used to run a Microfilm and Graphics shop and he had a
CompuGraphic 7770 system, thing was MASSIVE, it was a furniture-computer
(built run into the whole desk) and it was really one of my inspirations
for getting into computers when I was a kid. I'm looking for anyone
with photo's of systems (especially the 7770) and any brochures or other
materials that they could send me scans of, thanks.
I've got a 5.25" factory-labeled Compugraphic diskette in the
collection here (offhand, I don't recall the model number). And
don't forget the Varityper--another large system of about the same
time. About the size of a chest freezer. Hard-sector 8" diskettes
and software called CompSet, IIRC.
I used to be fascinated by the old Linotype hot-metal machines
myself. ETAOIN SHRDLU.
