The TA 10 (TTL accounting computer) has a predecessor - the TA 100 which is transistor based. It has much bigger (diode matrix) software...: Computer with all peripheric accessories: CPU (left) with console (right) exchangeable software packs These are inserted into front slots (bottom...

:LOL: TA used Diode plugs for programming, (diodes within the plugs) so I guess, that there is air in that box - and the multiplexers... The connector of that box fits in the "backplane" of the TA 10 (like the ROM modules themselves) http://www.horniger.de/computer/ta/TA101_106.jpg

And for programming, there was also a pluggable diode matrix board (I guess for TA programmers only):

Addendum: the original seller of the P359 published an image of the P359 electronics without knwoing what it was and by asking to buy it, he told me that it was sold and he can't remember the buyer.... 🤪😩🤬

Hi I bought a Philips P359 office computer from the 70s. Or to be more precise, I got its housing without the computer. Or to be more precise without the electronics. The seller told me, he didin't knew, that the electronics was missing. Because I don't want scrap the whole machine, I hope I...

Hi folks For a DEC PDP-8 serial registry project - a site with links and model, feature, installation, add-ons... to (m)any existing PDP-8s I want to compare to all sold PDP-8, too. Does somebody knows, if there's is already such a project ? Therefore I need the number of all sold PDP-8s. Does...

Hi folks I have an interesting system, which is as long as I think an experimental / educational computer. It's called DELSY 2000 and made by ITT. Like many (European) educational computers ist build on europe cards - but this one uses a different connection system: the boards have just board...
