Should give you long enough to wire wrap up a copy before sending it back :-p

The auction page didn't show a picture?
But yes, I believe it's just a RQDX3.

Yes, that (the M7555) is an RQDX3.
Also, I must concur, that price is... well exorbitant is an understatement.

About the simplest thing to do with it is build a COSMAC Elf around it.
.. although, whether that's interesting is heavily subject to opinion.

Great! This is a really nice ELF implementation:

This looks to be the operator's console from an IBM 610 Auto-point computer.
There is a lot more to this machine than this device. By itself, the device isn't
really useful, but it is indeed a beautiful display piece.
IBM called the 610 a computer in marketing materials, but internally, it was known as a
"Personal Calculator".
I consider the machine programmable calculator rather than a computer, because it
isn't a stored program machine. Programs were read step at a time from paper tape,
and a magnetic drum was used for numeric data storage (not program steps).
See http://www.columbia.edu/cu/computinghistory/610.html for more information.
Too bad the rest of it isn't available - it is definitely a very cool machine.

TIL311 displays? I pass =) These displays are expensive...
But I'll take a look at the design and maybe redesign the display part
:)

Heck, just use LEDs, man. The switches are binary, I think the LEDs
should be too!

I love the visual of the TIL311, but they are hellish expensive in
Brazil. I'd prefer to use normal digits instead... :)

At our museum we have just been donated a couple of Xerox Diablo 3000 computers. Does
anyone have schematics and/or service manuals . We have media but nothing else. Thanks

I don;'t have any technical information, but I do have such a machine. I
am also lacking any software for it (not even a boot disk)....
When things settile down a bit here, I could be convinced to rtrace out
schematic sfrom mine if necessary. From what I remembr it's not that
complicted, althoghh I do recall an 8048-series mcirocontroller on the
disk controller board.
It's been a lon time since I was inside it (lack of software means it
wasn't of great interest to me). I seem to rememmber 4 logic boards
behind the monitor section. Possible CPU, memory, video and disk? The
drives and monitor looked fairly conventiona, and there's a PSU in the
base under those units.

Hm, not me. Just missed out on one, due to work (dammit!). But if someone has a good

I get nostalgic now for the early 90s when PDP's regularly showed up on
loading docks waiting to get scrapped, and all you had to do was say
"Hey, mind if I haul this off?"
