Hi Guys,
Recently acquired most of a MIL MOD8 - this is a Canadian 8008 machine
from 1974. Photos and documentation on my site.
I got a complete chassis, as well as unpopulated ROM and RAM cards.
What I don't have is the CPU board, Restart/TTYboard, input board
or output board. If anyone has some leads on where I can locate these
components, please let me know.
I do have a copy of the MF8008 applications manual, which includes
complete documentaion and schematics of the MOD8 machine. I also have
several vector board which fit the backplane and match the form-factor
of the MIL boards, so if I cannot find boards by other means, I will
build them (which means I would need to find an 8008 CPU).
Any parts, documentation or software for this machine would be most
welcome - being keenly interested in Canadian vintage computers and
their history, I would very much like to see this running someday.
Regards,
Dave

Dave,
You might try contacting Zbigniew Stachniak at York University. He's the
curator of a small museum specializing in Canadian computers and I know he
has a some amount of MOD8 / Microsystems International equipment and
documentation.

There was a guy on eBay who had a stock of NOS MF8008's, but I don't
remember his handle. I think it was the same guy who has been selling these
mounted displays of the various Intel processor there occasionally.

That sounds like Steve ? here in Orlando. He's a big time IC collector.
I don't remember his E-bay id but I have his phone number and his E-mail
address. Let me know if you want me to ask here about the stuff.

Yeah, that's him. I couldn't remember his last name. I've met him a
couple of times and he seems to be a decent guy.
