I'm an avid collector of Convergent Technologies computers, perhaps you've seen my previous videos on the Convergent NGEN. In this video I start the restoration process on a Convergent Miniframe computer that I obtained from eBay. This computer uses a 68010 CPU and runs an operating system called CTIX. In this video, I spend most of the time checking out the power supply. I remove the hard drive and image it using an MFM emulator. I boot it up and look at the diagnostic LEDs. Unfortunately, I could not get the computer to boot, that will have to be finished in the next part in this series. For more vintage computer material, see smbaker.com
