I just recovered my old ITT3030 from a garage where it has been sleeping for the past 25 years. Power supply was dead, and rats have done their work, but i have managed to make it boot again. I am recovering a lot of documentation, hardware schematics, software packages and manuals, I am amazed to see it work again.

I worked on the early 3030 at ITT Creed in Brighton. The original machine had two 5.25 disk a Z80A with a massive (it was in those days) 64k of memory of which the bottom 4k was a PROM holding a modified version of CPM. Floppy disks with Basic, Word Star I don’t think in those days it had VisiCalc. It was first demonstrated in the UK on a Thames pleasure boat, (sorry I can’t remember the date I guess it would be 1980/81)
On this trip up and down the Thames, I demonstrated how easy it was to strip down the machine and reassemble it by saving a partly written letter, then switching the machine off taking the two floppies out then the CPU board and the display card. With the machine complete in bits I then put it back together and carried on writing the letter. In those days no other machine could do this. I believe that the 3030 was the first truly modular system.
