Haven't posted in ages, but I recently got my hands on a Texas Instruments DS990 Model 4 minicomputer!
It's gonna take a loooot of work to get it functional, especially the DS10 disk drive (which is just a CDC Hawk with a TI badge slapped on), but hopefully I can bring it back to life :3 Looking forward to programming it, since the 990 series has pretty cool features, like easy context switching.
