Last summer, I collected a large amount of
surplus Modcomp II gear as part of a truckload
computer rescue. I am looking to find homes
for some of the excess. I've placed one
complete system, but it looks like I have at
least one more CPU.
The Modcomp II is an early 70's vintage
TTL machine with an instruction set that
somewhat reminiscent of the IBM 360.
It has a large register file, and both
register-register and register-memory
instructions. The CPU is packaged in a
full-sized 19-inch cabinet, rather than
a smaller enclosed chassis. These machines
were built for real-time control in critical
applications, and were a favorite of NASA.
They were very solidly built. Programming
and maintenance manuals, with schematics,
are available.
I would be interested in finding out how
much interest there is in this gear. It
is located in San Jose, California.
