The NEC Astra is a mini-computer that thrived during the late 20th century but is no longer being supported by NEC in the United States. It was the platform on which our highly successful BTS Retail Accounting System software was developed. We still have an enormous inventory of this equipment. If you are one of those individuals who continue to reap the many benefits of the Astra system, we would love to become your parts supplier. We're pretty good at technical support and custom programming on these systems too.

All parts are used but guaranteed to be functional. Some of the items for which we have a large parts inventory include…

290MB 5” ESDI Drives
50MB TEAC streaming cassette tape drive
Motherboards for Astra 220 BPU
8” floppy diskette drives
Complete Astra 310 systems with 66MB drives
Internal circuit boards and power supplies for Astra 400 series systems
4040 and 4045 workstations (bases, monitors and keyboards)

If you would like to connect barcode scanning devices to your Astra system we have the perfect product for you – a customized Intermec 9570 Keyboard wedge that is plug-and-play ready to work with Astra 4040 and 4045 workstations. Simply connect a wand, or scanner cable of wand-emulation, and bring your Astra into the 21st century. Contact us for pricing and availability.
