This is just information. I completed a reference tool
that accomplishes
most of this for computers built between 1950 and 1979. It's called Domestic
Commercial Computing Power Between 1950 & 1979 (DCCP). It doesn't include
statistical data, but it does list every make and model of computers built
or sold by North American computer companies. It was self-published, but
you'll find reviews in upcoming issues of the Annals, Analytical Engine,
and the CBI newsletter. It's not available on the web and I have no plans
for that, but I am trying to make a CD version that would include
photographs, commercials/promotional video clips, sales literature, etc.
Where is this available from? It certainly sounds interesting.
We could use a similar tool for the years 1980 onwards
for commercially
available computers, but also for military computers, industrial control
computers, programmable communication controllers, etc.
Another project that sounds worthwhile and interesting. The two together
would nearly be a one-stop source for info on these systems. Do you plan to
cover peripherals at all, or just the boxes themselves?
