ICL 1500 Series

The ICL 1500 Series, not to be confused with the ICT 1500 Series mainframes of the 1960s, were originally designed by Cogar Corporation as desktop computers in the mid 1970s. Cogar were purchased by Singer Business Machines (SBM). ICL purchased part of SBM at the end of the 70s and produced the Cogar machines as ICL 1500 Series.

The ICL 1501 is a desktop machine incorporating a small screen, a keyboard and two mini-tapes. It had a network interface and could connect to an ICL 1503 desktop server that had 14 inch hard disks with a fixed disk and an exchangable disk each of 2.5 MegaByte capacity.

ICL DRS20 Series

NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

The ICL DRS20 Series was developed at the old Singer Business Machines development center to replace the Cogar/Singer/ICL 1500 Series. DRS stands for Distributed Resource System. These computers were designed to use multiple processor boards and networking to distribute and share the processing power and storage across several computers.

The original machines used a Retained Mode (R) application processor that emulated the ICL 1500 Series for compatibility with existing customer applications. A 'Native Mode' N processor board was also available with an 8085AH2 CPU that ran BASIC, Pascal and CIS COBOL. Communication boards could also be added.

ICL DRS300 Series.

The DRS300 Series was introduced in the mid 1980s as a networked, modular, multiuser computer system. Each DRS300 computer was assembled from clip-together modules that were connected using a SCSI bus. The modules were power supply (K1), processor (A2, A3, etc), disk storage (D1, D2, etc), backup tape units (S1). Several computers could be connected with the MicroLAN network to share resources.

User terminals were ICL DRS303 monochrome or ICL DRS305 colour terminals. These were connected using the MicroLAN network.

The operating system used was either DRI's multiuser Concurrent-DOS, or DRS/NX, an implementation of Unix SVR2 for the x86.

ICL PC1, PC2, Quattro, Quattro XM.

ICL PC1

The ICL PC range of x86 multiuser computers started with the PC1 which was a rebranded RAIR Blackbox running CP/M or MP/M II on an 8085AH2 CPU with bank switched memory. It used serial terminals for the users.

Available items:

ICL PC2, Quattro, Quattro XM.

ICL redesigned the PC with the help of RAIR. Initial PC2s still used the 8085AH2 with bank switched memory and ran MP/M II to give multiuser access from ICL 6402 serial terminals. Later the PC2s used 8086 and Concurrent CP/M-86.

The ICL Quattro had an 8086 and was was available with up to 7 serial ports to support up to 4 users on serial terminals plus printers and communications. It used an 8086 with 1Mbyte RAM and hard disks of 10, 20, or 50Mbyte.

The ICL Quattrro XM had an 80286 CPU and used eXtended Memory to support more than 1 MByte RAM.

Available items:

ICL Clan 3.

The ICL Clan computers were rebadged Datamedia departmental computers running UniPlus+ System V Unix or PICK operating system. The Clan 3 used a 68020(?) CPU. They used serial terminals for the users, such as the ICL 6402/01, ICL 6402/11 or ICL 6404.

Available items:

ICL Clan 4 - DRS400 (Manuals).

Available items:

ICL PERQ (Manuals).

The ICL PERQ was a rebadged Three Rivers computer system. It was the first commercially produced personal workstation with a Graphical User Interface. It could run a variety of operating systems including POS (Pascal Operating System) which was written in Pascal, and PNX, which was Unix Seventh Edition.
