I thought DEC made PDPs, not Western Electric.

That was my first impression too. Thinking back on the PDP-1, I/O card with one logic IC on it for breadboarding.

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?

This is a possibility, because the Foxboro Company did just this. In fact at one time, the Foxboro Company sold an entire PDP-1 with their nameplate 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 at all if they had, given that DEC sold principally to OEMs during their early years.

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 snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com if interested.

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

That's why they're known as:

Antique thirties!

Guess what they called the AN/PRC-90 radio set?
