Subject: SUMMARY: Where to find industrial PCs

   A couple of weeks ago, I requested pointers to industrial PCs.  Here
are the replies I received:

Have you tried Allen-Bradley?

They make Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's) for machine and process
control.

A few years back (1988 I think) they sold a "hardened" IBM PC-XT (i.e heavy
duty sheilded case and filtered air intake.

Steve, hope this doesn't arrive too late for you ...
There is a company in New Haven CT called CyberResearch.

        CyberResearch
        PO Box 9565
        New Haven, CT  06535-0565
        --
        203.483.8815

        800.341.2525


I have never ordered anything from them - I only have their catalog.
They seem to have a lot of industrial data-acquisition components with
some hazardous-environment equipment. If they don't have what
you're looking for they might be able to steer you in the right direction.

cheers,
dan

I have a catalogue (that I haven't ordered from) from:
Industrial Computer Source
10180 Scripps Ranch Blvd
San Diego CA 92131-1298
Order: 800-523-2320   (US & Canada)  6AM-6PM PT Mon-Fri
Tech Supp: 619-271-9340
Fax 619-271-9666

I believe Zenith & Unisys also make some Enviro. protected systems, or add-on
options. Think I've also seen others.

Some found in New Equipment Digest:
Seattle Telecom & Data, Redmond, Wa, 206-883-8440
Pro-log Corp, Monterey, CA 800-538-9570

If you don't get any other replies, I look for another mag that I think had
more of this type machine.

I'd be interested in seeing a summary.

Bill Robertson, Eisenhower Hall Theatre, DCA, USCC, USMA, NY.Phn:914-938-4176
uid:vw2487 {uscc1}  (e-mail to: vw2487@staff.usma.army.mil)  Autovon 688-4176

   And one person, whose message I erased before adding it to this
summary, suggested that I try Iverson computers (if you need a phone
number for them, they often advertise in PC Sources and some other
magazines).

   Thanks to all who replied.
