Block I and a half Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC).
This developmental unit was on display at VCF East 9.1 way back in 2014, and I'm not sure whom exactly it belonged to. It's more advanced than a Block I but it isn't quite a Block II

Do you have a favorite NASA spacecraft computer?
Not really, no.
There are some cool computers used by NASA for spacecraft, and I'll take any opportunity to post pictures of ones I've seen.
Like the Honeywell Alert 1C out of the X-15
There's also the Apollo Guidance Computer. Always a classic.
Can't forget the Launch Vehicle Digital Computer from the Saturn V Instrument Unit
There are so many other ones that I don't have photos of (I looked). Like the Gemini OBC, Apollo PGNCS, Apollo AGS, the Titan's ASC-15, the IBM System/4 Pi used on Skylab, MOL, and the shuttle...
So many good computers!
