10 / 11   Ancient Computer

Description
Close up of one of the computers between the halls. With computer I mean size clothes cabin. I took a magnetic disk with the administration from 1982 with me (if anyone has a reader for these, I'm happy to lend it to him/her), so the computers might be around the same age (older than me, yee!)

  Old computers are amazing.
Did you get any other information about make/model of that machine?

  Part of it was IBM and part of it was Something-Nixdorf (same logo as Siemens-Nixdorf but it was another company)

  Nice, if it wasn't against my ethics, that'd be gone.

  Eeehm I doubt that. I tried lifting the thing (I wanted to look at something under it, I'm not telling you what) but it wouldn't budge and weighed probably over 200 kg

  How bout Wincor Nixdorf? This is what it was from 1952 until 1990 when Seimans bought the company.
