All of the following are electronic desktop
personal computers used by engineers and mass
produced before 1963.
I have copies of magazine ads for these computers:
Electronic Associates Inc. Model TR-48 April 1962
Electronic Associates Inc. Model TR-10 June 1960
Donner Scientific Co. Model 3500 April 1960
Donner Scientific Co. Model 3400 February 1960
Of course there is also the Heath EC-1 introduced
in 1960 and the Heath ES-400 introduced in 1956.
ES-400 ? Sounds somewhat familar :)
Are you shure we are talking about the same?
My question was about a digital free programmable
desktop computer - all in onw, including I/O and
so on.
For the Analog part, East Germany had some realy
impressive machines. We had a real nice one from
the mid 60s at last years VCFe
So, the hunt is still open.
