[Milsurplus] Mil Computers

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Not to get to far of the main topic here but ...

Has anybody seen the Military versions of these machines show up in 
surplus?

At the same time things like the PDP-8 were going into newspaper 
printing plants and bakeries similar machines were going into military 
applications. I would suspect that they (like the early minis) would be 
showing up in surplus channels by now. For that matter the PDP-11 at 
least came in a Tempest version. I strongly suspect the end customer 
was not the bakery industry ....

	Take Care!
