I recently discovered a UNIVAC 9400 and 9300 in the
museum of
telecommunications' warehouse here in Norway. These are machines
replicating the System/360 instruction set (of the mod. 30 and 20,
respectively). The 9300, I don't currently know much about, but speaking
for the 9400, the card punch, card reader, and line printer have been
preserved. They seem in excellent condition.
Aren't the 9000-series Univacs not home-grown products, but rather
the follow-on result of the RCA Spectra acquisition by Univac? IIRC,
they're nothing like the 1100-series at all.
