tell me what the Zuse computers did, and what Zuse
models there were.
How big were they? Has anyone seen one? Do any exist now?
Other messages in this thread mentioned the models made begining in 1934
(Z1).
As to seeing one, a few of us have seen the display of Zuse machines at the
Deutches Museum in Munich. Hans may be able to fill in more detail as to
which model(s) and other notes since my memory is fading from the 1994
visit. Anyway, some examples do exist now.
Are these the open frame machines that were used on sunmarines and ships during
WWII? There's a sort of "computer" in the U505 submarine in the Museum of
Science and Industry on the lakefront in Chicago.
