Title A name given to the resource MCM DDS-1000 Diskette System Description An account of the resource Historical context (by Z. Stachniak) In December 1971, Mers Kutt and Gordon Ramer incorporated Kutt Systems Inc. (later renamed as Micro Computer Machines or MCM) in Toronto, with the purpose of designing, building, and marketing a small desktop microcomputer to be known as the MCM/70. The computer  was to be an inexpensive, APL programmable, general-purpose computer that would ``bridge the gap between the sophisticated [programmable] calculators that offer simplicity of operation but fail to provide the information processing capability of the computer... and the large, complex computers that require such high degrees of training and experience as to place them beyond the operational capabilities of most people who want to use them.'' [From an MCM/70 promotional brochure] The MCM/70 was to appeal to both computer experts and novices alike. The computer was offered in mid 1974 with up to two built-in cassette drives offering approximately 200KB of external storage. In 1975, MCM upgraded the MCM/70 to the /700 model and  offered a range of peripherals including two diskette storage systems: the SDS 250 (single disk drive, 250KB of storage) and the DDS 500 (dual diskette storage system, 500KB). In 1977, MCM introduced the DDS 1000 Diskette System designed as a mass storage for the MCM/700, /800, and /900 computers. It offered  1 MB of storage on 8" diskettes. The museum has two MCM DDS-1000 Diskette Systems (serial numbers 544903 and 501807), one DDS-500  Diskette Systema (serial number 376901) well as  DDS-1000 Diskette Drive User's Manual, MCM Computers Ltd., rev.

Title A name given to the resource LANPAR Personal Computer Description An account of the resource Historical context: LANPAR Technologies Inc. (also known as Les Technologies LANPAR Inc.), was a company founded in 1970 (as LANPAR Ltd.) by Rene Pardo in Markham, Ontario. Six years later, the company changed its name to LANPAR Technologies Inc. Prior to LANPAR's incorporation, Pardo and Remy Landau developed the first commercial electronic spreadsheet and named it LANPAR (LANguage for Programming Arrays at Random). Until the early 1980s, LANPAR was Canada's largest independent distributor of computer terminals. Its main line of business was the sale, rental, and service of computer terminals (mostly the products of Digital Equipment Corporation) and printers. Between 1982 and 1988, the company was involved in the distribution and manufacturing of personal computers. In 1982 and 1983, the company was selling the Osborne 1 computer (developed by California-based Osborne Computer Corp.) through Osborne Canada owned by LANPAR. Before the introduction of its own IBM XT-compatible computer--the LANPAR PC--in 1986, the company was also distributing IBM PC and -XT compatible computers from the American AT&T and Eagle Computer manufacturers. As a service-oriented company, LANPAR offered their services in most major Canadian cities (it had 15 service centers in 1986). The highly competitive PC market of the 1980s eventually forced the company to shift its corporate focus to sales and service of PC networking products. The company was dissolved in January 2003.

Title A name given to the resource AES-286 Personal Computer Description An account of the resource AES-286 Personal Computer (by Z. Stachniak) In 1967, Stephen Dorsey founded Automatic Electronic Systems (AES) in Montreal to develop electronic devices for industrial remote-control applications. Over the six years, AES developed, among other products, its own minicomputers (the AES-80 and AES-80C) and the world’s first all-in-one programmable word processor — the AES-90. Until the mid-1980s, digital word processors remained the company's main line of business, sold around the world. In the 1960s, office document-writing equipment was still dominated by various types of typewriters, ranging from purely mechanical to electric models, including those with digital storage for recording typed text, such as the best-selling IBM MT/ST (Magnetic Tape/Selectric Typewriter), which recorded edited documents on magnetic tape. These devices lacked displays and offered only limited word-processing functionality. None of them could be upgraded to newer versions; they could only be replaced with more advanced models as they became available. It all changed in the early 1970s, when several companies introduced dedicated text-editing equipment with displays for on-screen document editing and external storage. In 1972, Linolex Systems introduced its Model A while Lexitron offered the Videotype 911. In the following year, AES released its AES-90 Word Processor, and Vydec began selling its Vydec Text Processor. Although all these systems provided on-screen editing and external storage, several unique features of the AES-90 set new trends in the design of cost-effective text editing equipment. The most important of these was the AES-90 architecture and its software upgradability. The AES-90 was a standalone system that featured a CRT display, a keyboard, and two 8-inch floppy disk drives connected to a central processor. However, unlike the “hard-wired” solutions used in other early on-screen text-editing systems, the AES-90 processor was built around a general-purpose minicomputer (the AES-90C) running dedicated text-editing software. This design allowed for software updates, bug fixes, and adaptation to changing requirements without the need to purchase a new processor and discard the outdated one. For this reason, the ACS-90 was promoted as a programmable word processor and “a giant step into a new era of cost-effective written communication.” Within a few years, the office equipment market was flooded with similar video-screen text-editing products from companies worldwide—the Toshiba JW-10 Japanese Language Word Processor, announced in 1978, is one notable example—revolutionizing office operations. Although orders for AES-90 processors were piling up, AES faced significant difficulties with cash flow and attracting investor interest. Ultimately, the company came under the control of Innocan Investments Ltd., a Canadian financial organization specializing in venture capital for new and expanding firms, particularly those in high-technology industries. The Canadian Development Corporation owned 40% of Innocan, while other shareholders included the Air Canada Pension Fund, the Bank of Nova Scotia, and several well-established investment groups. Difficult relationship with AES financial backers led Dorsey to leave the company in 1975. Walter F. Steel, previously hired by Innocan as CEO, became AES’s new president. The company also adopted a new name: AES Data Limited. In 1975, the AES manufacturing plant in Montreal employed 135 people. That year, the plant delivered over 300 AES-90 units, bringing the total number of installations in Canada to more than 400. The company also operated branches in Calgary, Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec City, Toronto, and St. Albans, Vermont. In 1976, AES signed an agreement with Lanier Business Products to sell and service AES word processors in the U.S., with Lanier becoming a minority shareholder in the company. AES also partnered with the Swedish office electronics distributor Scribona to distribute a multilingual variant of the ACS-90 designed for Western Europe. This European model featured character sets and keyboards supporting eight languages: English, French, German, Swedish, Swiss-French, Italian, Dutch, and Danish-Norwegian. That same year, the company reached a new financial milestone, achieving sales of over $1 million per month. By 1978, AES operated four plants in Montreal, a manufacturing and research facility in Mississauga, Ontario, and sales and service offices across Canada, employing more than a thousand people. AES also established similar sales, service, and software support groups in Europe. In August 1978, the Canadian Development Corporation (CDC) purchased AES as well as Wordplex Corporation of California, which was subsequently merged into AES (Wordplex continued to operate as a division of AES until 1981, when CDC established it as a separate operating company). Headquartered in Toronto, the CDC was created and partially owned by the Canadian federal government, with a mandate to expand investment opportunities for Canadian-controlled companies through both public and private funding. Despite intense market competition, AES maintained strong positions in the North American and European markets, with rapid sales growth and dominance of the Canadian word-processing equipment market continuing until the early 1980s. The new AES C-20 series, introduced in late 1979, offered a sophisticated line of word-processing equipment and software. The decline of AES began in 1982. With Lanier losing interest in AES, CDC secured a new U.S. distribution channel by acquiring a majority stake in the successful American photocopier manufacturer Savin. However, intense competition in the office automation market from major companies such as AT&T, DEC, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Olivetti, Wang, and Xerox, combined with a shift toward using microcomputers for text editing, and Savin’s own financial difficulties, led to a decline in AES product sales. The percentage of AES units installed in Canada dropped from 33% in 1981 to 19% in 1983. Despite the introduction of several new products in the mid-1980s, including the AES-7100 stand alone word processor, the AES-286 personal computer, as well as the AES 7200, 7300, 7400, and 7500 series of multiuser systems, AES was also falling increasingly behind in both technology and marketing. Poor operating results at AES Data and Savin continued in the following years. In early 1987, dissatisfied with AES's performance, CDC announced that it was selling both AES Data and Savin. In September of that year, AES was acquired by Kinburn Technology Corporation, which already owned another office information systems subsidiary, XIOS Systems Corp. Shortly thereafter, Kinburn merged AES with XIOS to form XIOS Systems Corporation Europe. The merger, followed by the closure of XIOS in 1990, effectively brought an end to AES — the company that had helped pioneer cutting-edge text-editing technology. The entire industry of dedicated text-editing hardware collapsed soon after, under pressure from the rapidly growing office automation personal computer market, which offered multifunctional solutions for office operations, from advanced text-editing software, electronic spreadsheets and mail to financial and actuarial packages, databases, and administration software. The AES-286 The AES-286 personal computer was introduced in 1985 to enhance the package of office solutions offered by AES to its customers. It was designed to complement the company’s word processing and office systems, and to integrate PC applications into the mainstream of office automation. The AESOP office software (AES Office Productivity) provided the AES-286 with basic AES word processing.

Title A name given to the resource RIM Blackberry 5810 and 5820 Smartphones Subject The topic of the resource hardware: smartphones Description An account of the resource Historical Context In the last decade of the 20th century, rapidly developing wireless communications infrastructure introduced millions of users to wireless data and voice communications using pagers and cellular phones (cellphones). At that time, it was not unusual for a person to simultaneously carry a mobile phone, a pager, and personal digital assistant (PDA). The inconvenience of carrying all such devices to manage information and communication made the convergence of technologies and functionalities represented by these different devices into one communications package inevitable. The IBM Simon Personal Communicator (or IBM Simon) was the first such communications package -- the first "smartphone". Introduced in 1995, Simon handheld was a cellular phone, a pager and a PDA. However, its high price, short battery life, and far from convenient data entry led to poor sales. By the turn of the century, several companies, including Research in Motion (RIM), introduced their first smartphones. The success of these devices spelled the end of pagers ad PDAs in the workplace. The first two smartphones in what would become a long and successful line of RIM smartphones were the BlackBerry 5810 and 5820. The 5810 was introduced in the US on March 4, 2002 during Comdex in Chicago (the smartphone was offered in Canada on Rogers AT&T; Wireless in April 2002). The 5820 was introduced in UK a few months earlier and, eventually, was offered world wide. It was a variant of the 5810 that operated on different frequencies. The 5810 and 5820 smartphones combined wireless phone capabilities with wireless data services offered by RIM's pagers, services such as email and anytime, anywhere access to the Internet. In its March 4, 2002 press release, RIM stressed that its 5810 smartphone "integrates the award-winning features of the secure BlackBerry wireless email solution with the convenience of built-in phone. This breakthrough in wireless convergence delivers email, phone, SMS, browser, and organizer features in a single, sleek handheld that is "Always On, Always Connected"." Both smartphones used the housing designed for the RIM 957 pager. They were equipped with an earpiece and a microphone for hands-free phone calls that allowed the simultaneous use of these devices as PDAs during such calls. Software for all the pagers offered by RIM were written in C++. This changed with the arrival of the 5810 and 5820 smartphones whose software was written in Java. "RIM's decision to implement Java is opening BlackBerry to a community of more than three million application developers worldwide." stated RIM in its March 4, 2002 announcement.

Sharp Associates APL Collection Description An account of the resource I.P.Sharp Associates (IPSA) was formed in 1964 in Toronto as a software company by eight individuals including founding president Ian Sharp. From an exclusively Canadian company, it had evolved into an international software and communications firm. The company was actively involved in the development of the APL programming language from the language's introduction in mid 1960s. In 1969, IPSA offered its first commercial APL time-sharing system to customers in Canada and the United States. Since then, the company was continuously improving its dialect of APL known as SHARP APL. The software served as the operating and information processing environment for the I.P. Sharp's on-line time-sharing service. In the early 1970s, the access to IPSA's computer facilities were extended into Europe via trans-Atlantic cable. The I.P. Sharp network offered the company's communications capability, its on-line SHARP APL software and application program environment as well as public databases and libraries. In mid 1970s, IPSA introduced its own internally developed packet-switching network in Europe, and later world-wide. By the early 1980s, IPSA was best known for its reliable, high-performance, world-wide time-sharing system IPSANET -- one of the largest and most advanced in the world. By the end of the 1980s, IPSANET was available in over 800 cities in 80 countries and territories. IPSA had wholly-owned subsidiaries in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, USA, and West Germany. The company maintained one of the world's largest collections of on-line business-oriented data. Access to IPSANET was via a phone line which was a local call to a mainframe computer located at IPSA's computer center in Toronto. The network was successfully used by many international companies world-wide. Its success was due to its extent and reliability, its contents and services. Since mid 1980s, data could also be retrieved from the I.P. Sharp Online Service using a personal computer and downloaded efficiently for local analysis and processing by user programs or popular software such as LOTUS 1-2-3, VisiCalc, or Compu Trac. In 1987, I.P. Sharp was acquired by Reuters Holdings PLC. In 1993, a newly established software company Soliton Associates Ltd. of Toronto completed the acquisition of assets related to the APL software business from Reuters Information Services (Canada) Ltd, including SHARP APL software. In 2010, Soliton Associates Ltd of Toronto donated a large number of documents and other objects related to IPSA to York University Computer Museum. The donated technical manuals, corporate documents, photographs, books, journals, and newspapers once belonged to vast IPSA archives and technical library that were dismantled after the acquisition of the company by Reuters. For reasons of completeness, The Soliton SHARP APL Collection is supplemented with IPSA objects donated by other individuals and organizations. Abbreviations: <ul> <li>IPSA: I.P.

The collection includes APL resources developed by Iverson Software, Soliton Associates, and STSC. See also the I.P. Sharp Associates  and the Micro Computer Machines  collections. Description An account of the resource The origin of the APL programming language is Kenneth Iverson's mathematical notation that he developed in the late 1950s and subsequently published in 1962 in his seminal work A Programming Language. While at IBM, Iverson converted his notation into a programming language (to be known as APL) with the help of Philip Abrams, Lawrence Breed, Adin Falkoff,  Dick Lathwell, and Roger Moore. The first implementation of APL was released by IBM in 1965. In the 1970s, APL conferences and meetings, publications and APL interest groups, as well as "I Like APL" stickers and buttons, T-shirts and songs, transformed the initial curiosity about APL into an unprecedented cultural phenomenon.

Title A name given to the resource BlackBerry Porsche Design P'9981 Subject The topic of the resource hardware: smartphone Description An account of the resource Historical Context: In May 2011, Research in Motion (RIM, Waterloo, Ontario) announced its new Blackberry 9900 Bold smartphone that sported an elegant slim design, enhanced keyboard, high-resolution touch-screen display, and new BlackBerry 7 operating system. Favourable reviews and positive response from users around the world soon followed. Half a year later (October), RIM unveiled yet another smartphone--the Blackberry Porsche Design P'9981--the result of collaboration between RIM and Porsche Design. From the technical specifications point of view, the P'9881 was the BlackBerry 9900 repackaged into a superbly designed and manufactured housing. Both smartphones used the same processor, memory, display, camera, OS and battery. What set these handhelds apart were the industrial design of the housing, target customers, and pricing. The P'9981 was a special edition, luxurious smartphone sold to the business elite. Porsche Design came up with a unique and arresting design implemented using the finest materials available. "It fashioned out a smartphone capable of standing apart from its peers, much in the way cars of its parent company do."  wrote Vlad Savov in his 2012 review of the P'9981 smartphone. "The Porsche Design P'9981 smartphone from BlackBerry is instantly identified as a Porsche Design product." reads RIM press release from October 17, 2011. "The exclusive material choices for this unique smartphone include a forged stainless steel frame, hand-wrapped leather back cover, sculpted QWERTY keyboard, and crystal clear touch display. This customized Porsche Design P'9981 comes with an exclusive Porsche Design UI and a bespoke Wikitude World Browser augmented reality app experience. It also includes premium, executive PINs that help easily identify another P'9981 smartphone user." The Porsche Design P'9981 introductory price was $2,300. A limited "gold" edition (only 25 smartphones were produced!!) offered the P'9981 device in a stainless-steel case finished with a 24-carat gold layer. The limited-edition number was etched on solid 24-carat gold plate attached as the camera cover on the backside of the smartphone. The Porsche Design P'9981 was followed by the release of the Porsche Design P'9982 in 2013 and Porsche Design P'9983 in 2014. These new smartphones were premium makeovers of the BlackBerry Z10 and Q10 smartphones, respectively, aimed at RIM's elite customers.

Title A name given to the resource DY-4 Systems Collection Description An account of the resource DY-4 Systems Inc. was an Ottawa-based high technology company founded by four engineers Garry Dool, Terry Black, Kim Clohessy, and Steve Richards in 1979. In the early 1980s, DY-4 designed and manufactured a variety of products including microcomputers (the ORION series), graphics terminals, and STD bus board level products (including single-board computers). In the second half of the 1980s, the company shifted its attention to the development and manufacturing of products for harsh environments. A wide range of products based on VME bus architecture was offered for applications in areas such as air traffic control, tactical command, control and communication, flight management for airborne applications, ground tactical support, process control, and robotics. The products included single-board computers, memory modules, intelligent peripheral controllers, special function modules, and I/O modules. By 1993, when DY-4 went public, the company was already a technological leader in the ruggedized embedded computing market providing open systems board-level products, support systems and related software to harsh environment systems integrators. DY-4 products found their way to new generations of tanks, submarines, airplanes and spacecraft in many countries around the world. The company entered the 21st century retaining its premier position as embedded computing solutions provider in the defense and aerospace industries. In 2004, after a series of acquisitions, DY-4 business was bought from Solectron (Milpitas, Ca) by defense contractor Curtiss-Wright Corp. (Roseland, N.J.).

Title A name given to the resource DY-4 Systems Collection Description An account of the resource DY-4 Systems Inc. was an Ottawa-based high technology company founded by four engineers Garry Dool, Terry Black, Kim Clohessy, and Steve Richards in 1979. In the early 1980s, DY-4 designed and manufactured a variety of products including microcomputers (the ORION series), graphics terminals, and STD bus board level products (including single-board computers). In the second half of the 1980s, the company shifted its attention to the development and manufacturing of products for harsh environments. A wide range of products based on VME bus architecture was offered for applications in areas such as air traffic control, tactical command, control and communication, flight management for airborne applications, ground tactical support, process control, and robotics. The products included single-board computers, memory modules, intelligent peripheral controllers, special function modules, and I/O modules. By 1993, when DY-4 went public, the company was already a technological leader in the ruggedized embedded computing market providing open systems board-level products, support systems and related software to harsh environment systems integrators. DY-4 products found their way to new generations of tanks, submarines, airplanes and spacecraft in many countries around the world. The company entered the 21st century retaining its premier position as embedded computing solutions provider in the defense and aerospace industries. In 2004, after a series of acquisitions, DY-4 business was bought from Solectron (Milpitas, Ca) by defense contractor Curtiss-Wright Corp. (Roseland, N.J.). Acquisition: The objects in the collection have been donated or acquired from: Dave Dunfield, Mati Sauks, and Zbigniew Stachniak.
