Grumman C-8573 / ASA-79 Jet Computer | by Bill Degnan - 02/08/2007 22:34 |
I was given a Grumman C-8573 / ASA-79 Jet Computer a few months ago, and I decided to open it up to see what was inside. I was told...that this was the computer from an F14, but I was unsure exactly which generation. After a good hour I finally opened up the box to reveal mid-80's components, not late 60's early 70's. See http://microcomputerhistory.com/f14chipset.htm for what I was hoping to find. oh well.
Here are the raw images: http://vintagecomputer.net/Grumman/ Note that it's an IBM card cage. The chips are from the early to mid 80's. The historical equivalent to an early pentium/late 486 ... I will come back to this. If anyone wants this unit, let me know. It's not really in my area of interest. Reply |
