Computers


This overview only shows the various systems that exist in the world of Fallout. Few are still functioning, and buying one is highly difficult and always a very expensive operation. There are few specialized stores, and even those mostly sell the home and office computers that have been
produced en masse by RobCo.



Westek Research Company's Skynet

From time to time one finds one or another file or one of the very few articles that were written and published about this super computer. By now it's a conviction in scholar's circles, that the corresponding West-Tek Lab was somewhere in California, but whether or not the machine was finished before the nukes fell, is a source of heated debates.
Should Skynet exist and the few sources about it's performance are not exaggerating, this must be the first true AI and thereby the most highly developed computer of all times.

Brotherhood of Steel Automated Concious Entity

A super computer built by the Brotherhood of Steel, hardly ever exported, that is probably
specialized at controlling medical devices .It is supposed to be able to complete even complex surgical operations without any human interference. Even though, as it is said, aware of it's existence and it's limitations, but still no complete AI, maybe even because the Brotherhood of Steel knows of the personality disorders of real AIs.

Vault-Tec X-3000 V4

A standard Vault control computer with enough computing power to control all processes within a Vault, starting with water purification to light and uncounted other processes. But not an AI.

Vault-Tec Library computer

The Vault-Tec Library computers are learning devices, with 16 million color displays to show even the most complex graphics. They can store dozens of tera bytes of data – but aren't the fastest computers.

RobCo Industries OIP-Boy 2000

The Office Information Processor from RobCo, America's leading producer of data processing
machines, is the most popular office computer from before the War. It's able to interact in
networks, for example via Email and offers the most advanced picture and document processing of
it's time.

RobCo Industries Home-Boy 3000

Technically, the Home Boy 3000 is only the OIP-Boy 2000 without networking ability. It offers the same functions as the OIP-Boy 2000 and can for example be used to control a Mr. Handy robot.

RobCo Industries DIP-Boy 3000

The Desktop Information Processor is the more handy, smaller answer to lack of computers. It offers a simple, but big display, an about a gigahertz fast processor and a lot of software. It can do a lot, but by far not everything. On the other hand, it's a lot cheaper.

RobCo Industries PIP-Boy 2000

A portable miniature computer, that can be comfortably worn on the wrist. Able to receive VHF radio messages, to store a calender including notes and able to be combined with other portable devices by RobCo™, for example the universally popular scanner.
