Does anyone know of a good history, online or in print, regarding the
Monrobot computers? I found some technical info at Bitsavers and on Ed
Thelen's site, but I'm looking for info about the people behind the
company in the 1950s.

Found what I was looking for at
http://drum.lib.umd.edu/bitstream/1903/10504/1/Chinoy_umd_0117E_11395.pdf --
lots of Monrobot company history on pages 226-242 (of the document, not
the pdf page numbers).

Coincidentally, this weekend a friend found a couple of Monrobot logic
modules at a hamfest - but all the components had been stripped out,
leaving only a skeleton. Nice tags, however. They look a bit like
single tube IBM modules.
And coincidentally to that, the same hamfest yielded a pair of IBM
marked solid state replacement modules for 6AL5 tubes. The part number
is in the 440000s, so they are likely from the mid 1960s.

Evan,
I don't have any history for the Monrobot but I do have copies of some of the Monrobot
XI technical documents. If you're interested I can look to see exactly which documents
I have. I got them from a guy who was selling a few Monrobot XI computers a while back. I
had my name in for one but he ended up selling the whole lot to someone else. I convinced
him to copy the documentation before sending it to the buyer.
Thanks,
David
