Hi,
Time to introduce myself. My name is Lars Hamr?n, and I live in
Sweden. My very first computer was a 16-bit Computer Automation Alpha
LSI-2, that at first I programmed in Basic, and them in assembly.
Some time ago I decided that, for sentimental reasons, I wanted an
LSI-2, but soon discovered that CA was virtually forgotten and that
very little remained. My scope was therefore expanded to try to
collect and save as my of CA:s computer side as possible. (CA also
made automatid test equipment).
With a little luck, a lot of e-mails and phone calls, and a lot of
help from other people, some of whom are active on this list (thank
you!), I have been able to collect more than I initially hoped for,
but a lot is of course still missing.
There is a web site dedicated to the project at
http://www.sdu.se/computer-automation-museum/
It details parts of the collection.
I would very much like to get in contact with anyone who has
information on these machines, or who has first-, second- third- or
eve fourth-hand experience with these machines, or may know of someone
who has.
They are really becoming very rare, so *ANY* help and information is
likely to be of value.
Kind regards
/Lars Hamr?n
