Description
This was the prototype for the Aurora computer II that was used in the Train Lab for several years. This first machine was set up on a wire-wrapped board and debugged.
The donor Prof.Forbes, Forbes Burkowski, designed the circuit. The circuit diagrams were then sent to Cormen Electronics for fabrication. There are the original circuit diagrams donated to our collections as well.
