Hello. I'd like some of yours take a time to read this document
that can be located in the URL
http://www.cagindia.org/reports/commercial/1991_book11/annexureI.htm
It's dated in 1991. It contains some amazing projects. Oh, by the way,
finally we know where goes all these old irons lost: to India. And I appoint
the convenience to try contact this guy to know if some of these projects
was completed (mainly the diskette unit for the IBM 1401, or the COBOL
compiler for this same computer).
