I did leave a few oddities off that are not complete and functional systems.
One being a SyQuest parallel-port 270MB cartridge disk drive (3.5")
which is functional
along with 13 cartridges(SQ327) . I can still use it out of the case as
its IDE.
Core plane from a Sperry computer. The specifics was I tried to buy
whole the
computer when Grumman Plant 33 was closed. The memory was already
parted out.
Plant 33 was one of the plants where the LM (lunar module) was made.
Yes, Sperry
made computers and no, data, or even evidence of it is non-existent.
