We have been trading since 1989, and over that time a good deal of hardware has passed through our hands. Some of it we kept. We threw away far more than we saved, usually because at the time it was simply taking up space that a rack needed, and we have regretted most of those decisions since. What survived is listed below, and much of it still works.
This is not a reconstruction bought at auction. These are the machines we ran, the machines our clients ran, and the kit we used to connect them to each other before there was an internet to connect them to. Our history is set out on the History page, and a fair amount of what is described there is sitting on shelves in Lincolnshire.
We have a large collection of other peripherals including tape readers and punches, hard drives, adapters, couplers, and test gear.
GEN operates a vast archive of software, source code, manuals and documentation for many legacy systems, available on the GEN WIKI, but only a small percentage is downloadable because we simply haven't had the time to curate it all. If you're looking for something specific, drop us a message and we'll see if we've got it.
If you're a museum and wish to borrow any of our collection for an exhibition, please let us know, and we'll do our best to help.
We are always glad to hear from anyone restoring a machine of this vintage, whether you are after a manual, a disc image, a part, or simply confirmation of how something was meant to be wired.
