This page is labeled "Visible Storage". For "invisible storage" go to Computer Warehouse Party
Bob Rosenbloom has his own "invisible storage"
Goal of this page
|
Provide descriptions of artifacts in the old "Visible Storage", alphabetically
by manufacturer.
Unfortunately, manufacturer name is not unique, due to purchases, such as
Bendix (G-15) purchased by Control Data, or Convex by Hewlett/Packard. To some extent,
this list gives priority to the original manufacturer's name.
|
|
About 2002, Wikipedia came on strong and largely made this effort redundant. I now spend more time
updating Wikipedia than updating this series of web pages.

Picture Credits
Note:
| There is a gigantic collection of computer system manuals and programming manuals available at
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/. Organized usually by manufacturer,
sometimes by a sponsoring organization. For instance, the ILLIAC IV is listed under
"univOfIllinoisUrbana" rather than under "Burroughs Corporation".

Hello ...
Thank you very much for contacting the Computer History Museum. I would be
more than happy to assist you with your request. The image you attached is
not part of our collection. Probably Ed took it for his website. If you
want to use that image you do not need to credit the Museum, but only Ed.
Here a link to see other images of CDC 6600 that are part of our collection:
http://www.computerhistory.org/collections/search/?s=CDC+6600&f=stillimage
If you are interested in using them for your educational project and the
online quality works for you, please, go ahead and use them. In this case,
please, credit the Museum: Image courtesy of the Computer History Museum.
Do not hesitate to contact me for any other questions.
Best,
Massimo
