Re: Gould 32/77 (was: NWA auctions)

Bob: I have not found any Gould software yet but last night I found a packet of all the UTX-32 documentation on microfiche. When you are ready for it, let me know how to mail it to you. On Tue, Oct 25, 2016 at 5:12 PM, Al Kossow wrote: > There are some new scans up now for

There are some new scans up now for 32/75 on bitsavers.org/pdf/sel and some software under bits/SEL I'll be working on MPX documentation next On 10/14/16 7:29 PM, Tony Aiuto wrote: > Bob: I may have a lot of software for it, if I can find the tapes and they > are still readable. I even got

Re: Gould 32/77 (was: NWA auctions)

Yes. The 8 & 9 machines were ECL, the rest were TTL. IIRC, those were the 32/87, 9780, PN9600. David mentioned disks on the PN (Unix) series. Those were formatted with multiple of 512 byte sectors. The RTM/MPX machines used 768 byte sectors, which was super optimal for the disks they happened to

I used most of the SEL/Gould/Encore machines. The 32/77 was an original SEL design, from before Gould bought them. It ran MPX-32, their real-time OS. TTL based. The 32/87 was ECL, in a much bigger cabinet. They made slight hardware changes to the 32/77 and 32/75 and released them as the PowerNode
