Anyone have an information on a system that Datum built?
Found their headquarter was at 1363 S State College,
Anaheim, CA., so may be why it turned up in scrap around
here (Orange, Country, CA)
location if anyone is interested

There is an instrumentation system in the catalog on
bitsavers that has a Nova 800 or 1200 looking system
incorporated.
We had some Datum mag tape controllers on our PDP-11
systems. They eventually got out of the mini peripherals
business, and went back to time code generators and related
gear for rocket test range and TV network synchronization.
I never knew they made complete computers!
