As an enclosure platform to develop circuits and/or code. 4.) As a vintage computer collector. 5.) To appreciate its retro style and technology. 6.) As a present for one of the 1983 the "NABU Adaptor" was introduced with the NABU Computer and NABU Network. It was the analog equivalent to today's modern-day internet modem. It connected the NABU Computer to the NABU Network through a Cable TV provider and allowed communication with NABU Servers. And now you can own the NABU Adaptor Enclosure and internal Power Supply which makes for a terrific platform for projects or products. Simply remove the small internal project and you are project ready. I have personally used the NABU Adaptor for several projects/products. The NABU Project Box Enclosure matches the NABU Computer design, and they look just great together. They are new old stock, and we offer them at an incredible price.
HISTORY: The NABU (Natural Access to Bi-directional Utilities) Computer was an early home computer system and a component of the NABU Network which operated from 1982 to 1985. The NABU Network was a closed network that operated over a cable TV system and was a precursor to the internet. The NABU Adaptor was the functional “modem” of the system that connected the NABU Computer to the NABU Network through a Cable TV provider. The computer could download applications and information from NABU Servers through the NABU Network. The download data rate was a very fast 6.4 megabytes per second (but upload was slow). It has been called, “The Internet – 10 years ahead of its time”. The NABU project was heavily subsidized by the Canadian government and at its peak NABU had 900 employees. The NABU Computer originally cost $950.
