@irgendwienet@chaos.social @ole@chaos.social @nblr@chaos.social the Telefunken mainframes are part of the lost legacy of German computer development, since it didn't really leave a legacy. The German Museum in Munich had one on display, but their computer science exhibition is being renovated right now.
And a sad assembly of TR440 parts still exists in the FAU Erlangen

@mxk@hachyderm.io @ole@chaos.social @nblr@chaos.social I have to revisit Munich. Last time I was only one day in the museum. Remember other computer but no Telefunken.

@mxk@hachyderm.io @irgendwienet@chaos.social @ole@chaos.social @nblr@chaos.social When I was a boy in the 1970s I had these books "How Things Work: The Universal Encyclopedia of Machines" which I think were a translation of "Wie funktioniert das?: Die Technik im Leben von heute" and they had sections on computers which may have described (in fairly basic terms) the working of these systems (it was certainly a type of mainframe which I have not seen elsewhere and looked very "European")
