The Rise and Fall of Philips Data Systems
About a year ago Mats Danielson from Stockholm Sweden contacted the CPU Shack about an interesting project, documenting the history of Philips Data Systems, a former powerhouse of European computing. Previously we wrote about the SPC16 micro used in some of these, but Mats has done a complete history.
His book is available for free at Research Gate: The Rise and Fall of Philips Data Systems. It includes the SPC16 as well as the history of much of Swedish computing. We’re always happy to help out researchers, be it with data, or just pictures.
