Rua<p>Today at the <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/HomeComputerMuseum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeComputerMuseum</span></a> repair department, a big minicomputer-like thing from the early 80s. Made by Compudata, a Dutch company that would later rename itself to Tulip Computers. We haven't really been able to find anything about what it is, despite having the faceplate with a name on it.</p><p>Also, with it came a big chonk of a hard drive, capacity not known. The hard drive seemed to include controller hardware, and consisted of a whopping FOUR separate PCBs stacked on top of each other. Thankfully the top two could be tilted upwards. The hard drive has some electrical issues so we're not sure if it still works.</p><p>Not shown are an equally large second computer case, containing two 8-inch floppy drives.</p><p><a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/Minicomputer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Minicomputer</span></a> <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/Compudata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Compudata</span></a> <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/TulipComputers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TulipComputers</span></a></p>
