A few days ago one of the storage rooms at the
university
was cleaned up and I grabbed all the computer-related stuff
that I could. Not a lot of variety, though. Besides
from the wintel carcasses and Mac plus remains, I found
one Datapoint 1550 and several modules from a type system that
I have never seen. The cpu, floppy disk drives and graphics
modules snap onto each other's side very neatly. There are
several of these systems, with the corresponding monitors and
keyboards. Alas, the only power supply unit that I found
is incomplete and badly damaged. Do you guys have some
info about these systems?
Carlos,
I've seen a couple of systems made by Concurrent that look like
those. I think the Concurrents use a power supply brick that puts out
something like 36VDC. The power supplies seem to be scarce, i've only seen
one of them. I don't know anything else about the Concurrent systems, sorry.

These pics are about 70K. They'll probably load slowly;
we're bandwidth-starved these days.
