>>Mohawk Data Systems Mainframe SUPER 21
>
Just to help out prospective buyers. MDS made data entry systems,
not general purpose computers.

Having said that, the guts of the Super 21 is an ATRON (now there's
a popular name eh) minicomputer, but it was twisted and shaped,
especially the operating system to accept multiple data streams and
organize them onto 9-track tape or buffer the files on disk for data
transmission to a host.

It would be an interesting acquisition.
