Sep 1951,

One of the first commercially available computers.

384 multiplications per second - about a million times slower than today's computers.

75Kbyte Drum storage, 1.25Kbytes of RAM! I wonder what they meant by 'will ultimately hold...' in Version 1.1 perhaps

I think we may be missing the roms for this baby, Hot Trout.

Screw the roms and bios, we dont have any punch cards to copy for the software and even if we did there is no way for me to 'uplodad/download' paper.

That said, te_lanus probably has software for it, he seems to have software for everything. I recon that te_lanus should become the new curaitor of here.

Cool computer though.
