Tonight, on Green Acres (on the TV Land channel),
they're showing a
1950/1960s minicomputer or mainframe with several tape drives, etc.
Does anyone know what type of computer it is? The show will probably
be repeated sometime tomorrow (probably sometime between 4:30 and 6:30
PM EST, I think). Anyone interested in taking a look to see what it
is, or know what it is from tonight's show?
Based on what I saw last night it looked like three tape drives, a
card sorter and either a typewriter or a terminal of some sort. I'm
guessing the gear was from the 50's. There was no sign of an actual
CPU. No idea who the manufacturer was, those tape drives were rather
interesting looking.
