I worked with DIGICO?s in 1974.
Is it red?
Does it have a manual pull through paper tape reader?
Was it made in the UK?
I am most interested
Yes, it is red and has a small reader on the front plate. The machine
seems to be complete (expect the disk drive that is missing the removable
platter assembly/heads).
I can make some pictures these days.

Hi Christian,
I sent you a message off-list, I think I have a line on some information
for you. (I'm just mentioning it here too as email doesn't seem to be as
reliable as it once was, sadly).
cheers
Jules

So, here they are:

Some notes from my part:
There were two systems, there is only the front panel and board set left
from the second one. One front panel says
"LOS", the other "micro 16v".
Also pictures from the Pertec
drive wreck that I hope can be restored to a
fixed platter only drive. (PCBs not shown, but I have them)
I have three memory boards in total, and the two CPU boards are different
revisions. The one shown is MK2, the other is MK1 with a lot of green
wires. All boards seem to be soldered by hand!

That looks similar to the Logo of the company I worked for ICS (Instrumental Colour
Systems)
The machine is identical down to the colour and the tape reader.
Did you contact the guy with the drawings?
