'''Nuclear Data Incorporated''' was a manufacturer of scientific measuring devices for high energy physics laboratories.  Application areas included X-ray analysis and radiation monitoring.

Although I have a wide interest in older computers, I worked with [[PDP-11]]'s ''extremely'' extensively 'back in the day', and consider them perhaps the most elegant architecture ever devised (the power and flexibility they obtained with only 16-bit wide instructions were a revelation when they first appeared), so I have focused on them.

In the 1960s, they built [[minicomputer]]s to automate their laboratory devices, such as the ND 812. Over time they replaced these custom designed computers with [[Digital Equipment Corporation|DEC]] [[LSI-11]] minicomputers with custom [[peripheral]]s.  Their headquarters were located in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schaumburg,_Illinois Schaumburg, IL].

In May, 1973, [[Bunker Ramo]] acquired the Electronic Store Information Systems Division of Nuclear Data for $3.2 million in cash. The sale included a point of sale terminal business.<!--

Revision as of 00:04, 22 October 2018

Although I have a wide interest in older computers, I worked with PDP-11's extremely extensively 'back in the day', and consider them perhaps the most elegant architecture ever devised (the power and flexibility they obtained with only 16-bit wide instructions were a revelation when they first appeared), so I have focused on them.

For more about me, see my home page.

Also, I'm an admin here on the CHWiki, so if there are any admin-type tasks you need doing (e.g. deleting a page with a typo in the name; merging edit histories; etc) just drop me a line.
