Many thanks for your efforts - these documents look very interesting.
Given the fact, that Rolm was founded in 1969, I really guess that by
the time the brochure was printed, no running hardware existe
BTW - there is no evidence that the 1601 was not produced at all, is

New Jersey USA. It could be that very few were made, what I need to do is

an Eclipse as a gift from a client who no longer needed it.
In my search for docs, software, and other information I met some
interesting people. One was in the Navy in the 1980's in data
processing. He recounted to me:

I remember way back I met one of their reps and he was telling me
some of these were using in airplane simulators too.

What a beauty! In amazing condition.

I designed the video section of that board set (VX/MVX). The VX had an
i860 + a very large 32 bit frame buffer. It also had and 2nd 8 bit frame
buffer based two custom Sun chips that was used for the window system. The
video could switch between the two frame buffers on a per-pixel basis. The

Hi,
Most of the documentation is found here:

For some basic testing look here:

in chapter 5.1 (pdf page number 48).

I have a Digital RZ56 drive and a couple of Micropolis 1588 drives.
Is there any demand for these brick sized drives of cd-rom capacity, or
should I just recycle them?

To follow up on this with what I’ve learned:
As expected, lots of places online will say they have a thing on their web

Hi Stan
Some one on the vintage computing forums was looking for a <1GB drive for an
old DEC box. Certainly the VaxStation 3100 base model needs small disks like
this.
Yes the wonderful SCSI2SD will work but real drives are often wanted.
