T A Y L O R I X S Y S T E M 9 |
|
| |

THE TAYLORIX SYSTEM 9 IS A MULTI PURPOSE PERSONAL COMPUTER.
IT IS A REPRESENTATIVE OF MDT (IN GERMAN: MDT = MITTLERE DATENTECHNIK - A MIDRANGE COMPUTER CLASS OF THE 60S AND 70S)
ALL SYSTEM 9 COMPUTERS ARE MADE BY TRIUMPH ADLER (TA) AND CORRELATES TO THE TA 1000 SERIES.
THERE WAS A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS I.E. INTELLIGENT DATA ENTRY STATION, ACCOUNTING COMPUTER, ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM,...
OTTO MÜLLER, WHO WAS PREVIOUSLY DEEPLY INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NIXDORF 820 AND 900, ENGINEERED THIS COMPUTER AS A SCALED-DOWN (8-BIT) VERSION OF HIS 16-BIT COMPUTER, WHICH HE DISTRIBUTED BY HIS OWN COMPANY CTM - COMPUTER TECHNIK MÜLLER AS THE CTM 70 IN 1972.
ALTHOUGH THE TA 1000 WAS A BIG SUCCESS FOR TRIUMPH ADLER, ONLY FEW OF THESE WERE PROBABLY LABLED BY TAYLORIX AND FEW OF THESE SURVIVED.
(MANY UNIT WERE NOT SOLD BUT LEASED, AND HAD TO BE RETURNED AT THE END AND THEN WERE SCRAPPED...)
I AM LOOKING FOR ANY INFORMATION AND PARTS FOR THE TAYLORIX SYSTEM 9 AS WELL AS THE TA 1000.
PLEASE REPORT ALSO ANY KNOWN SURVIVORS TO ME.
