Early Computers

Fascinating. I am in process of resurrecting two Transtec Krypton Computors which ran on CPM.To start you loaded the OS from a 5inch floppy and stored data on other floppies. It was designed I guess in about 1985. The need to conserve was paramount hence programmes are incredibly short but nevertheless very effective and fast!. The machines and all documentation are to be sent to the Computer Museum at Bletchley Park. The applications are programmes for book sellers -CLUE for those who were around in days of old.
