    Elite - Online?

    But moving more of the "universe" to the server would enable just the active gameplay to happen.

    Western Europe Stantec Computing System from 1963 with big Drum Memory

    My guess is the blank spot in the pictures of the listing is where the drum goes like in this picture. in the "report" roland said about he said that he doesnt think it will be able to work again due to the cables disconnected. this will help in some way but your still talking about...

    I would say yes, largely useless but lovely as a collection piece. Would be intereted to see if anyone could tell me why IBM made a whole machine that different than to check when they could have just had a "no-punch check" switch and it does the role of the verifier. This going to be a new...
