Hi Bill,
thanks again for your considerations! --- Bill Degnan <billdeg...@gmail.com> wrote: > BTW - there is no evidence that the 1601 was not produced > at all, is there? No, there is no evidence. But they founded ROLM in 1969 and they had no experience on designing a MIL-SPEC computer (until than only highly specialized MIL-SPEC computers had been designed taking years each) and only limited experience on computers at all. So I can hardly imagine, that they founded ROLM, agreed with DG on the architecture, developed the design, implemented the shock and heat management, tested against the MIL-SPECs set up production within only 2 years. Here is a nice video of a discussion with the founders recorded by the CHM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyTuxVQgw6c > The brochure came from a local office near where I used to live in > New Jersey USA. It could be that very few were made Yes, maybe some where made for trade shows and to try out how to build a MIL-SPEC computer. But regarding commercial sales I am still sceptic (no proof as you say)... Thanks, Erik.
