In article ,  mentioned...Then why is it in a Western ELectric computer?  PBP-1s were made by DEC.  Did WeCo buy logic boards from DEC with their name on them, and use them in their computers?-- @@F@r@o@m@@O@r@a@n@g@e@@C@o@u@n@t@y@,@@C@a@l@,@@w@h@e@r@e@@###Got a Question about ELECTRONICS?

Watson A.Name - "Watt Sun, Dark Remover"  wrote inmessage news:...This is a possibility, because the Foxboro Company did just this. Infact at one time, the Foxboro Company sold an entire PDP-1 with theirnameplate on it.This is not atypical for firms in the process control industry.I have no knowledge of WE doing this, but it wouldn't suprise me atall if they had, given that DEC sold principally to OEMs during theirearly years.                                                  Harry C.p.s., Anybody want to buy a mint condition manual for the DEC PDP-1. If so, I have one for sale. You can contact me at  ifinterested.

Gee the only thing I have left from my DEC days are the letters PDP-5 fromthe first PDP-5 used here in Canada.They don't take up as much space as the PDP-8 system I tossed out.Jay in Greensville,Ont.
