Museum pieces
As a result of some spelunking,  I'm looking for a copy of the
venerable VS APL Program Logic Manual, LY20-8032, circa 1976.

I'm also looking for one of them MCM-80 micro computers that were
demoed at APL73.

Any clues welcome.

Bob

Re: Museum pieces
Bob,
MCM-80 or MCM-70?  Have you asked Zbigniew Stachniak at York
University in Toronto?  He's written several papers on the company.

If you are referring to the '73 conference in Copenhagen, I'm the guy
who demod it.  It was an MCM70 re-packages into and attache case with a
beefed up battery pack.  Contact me off line if you care to discuss it.

Thanks, Ted. Will do! Bob
I was given a larger MCM machine (the one with the dual 8" floppy
drive that
weighs about 35kg - NO JOKE!), and have donated it to the York
University
Computer Museum, which specializes in Canadian computer tech.
