Moderne Probleme erfordern auch mal unkonventionelle Methoden. In seinem Talk am VCFe 25.0 erläutert Stefan Höltgen das Konzept des "Unconventional Computing" und zeigt, was das mit alten Computern zu tun hat: youtu.be/MqWMjFbztBc #VCFe #VCFe25 #unconventionalcomputing

We’re working to preserve and reanimate historic computing software and documentation. We just took on the archive of two former #Commodore #Amiga PNW clubs and would like #community support for our efforts. icm.museum #history #software #preservation #archiving

Not in Seattle? You can visit the museum through our online systems! Join the BOOTSTRAP membership to directly support our remote efforts. icm.museum #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #retrogaming

Two Seattle high school students hack BASIC at 10 characters per second on a remote GE-235 Time Sharing System in the late 1960s. Does anyone know what happened to them?

Announcing: Kurtz and Kemeny, your code LIVES on at Interim Computer Museum with a NEW reconstruction of DTSS the 1960s GE-235 Dartmouth Time Sharing System which inspired many to learn BASIC and ALGOL. #vintagecomputing #dartmouth #retrocomputing #basic #algol @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social

What a KL-udge icm.museum Can your network chaos?

the Arduino Altair 8800 can create RFI like the MITS Altair to play the1892 hit single: Daisy Bell. 1900s people, if they we’re still living in the modern age, would remember Brian Tochi (Takashi Toshiro) singing this in a movie called Revenge of the Nerds. #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing #music

CHADs on the floor! Do you have a Chad collector for teletype model 35 ASR? We could use one. icm.museum

Can your Commodore VIC-20 do this? @WilliamShatner wow! We have this in our collection but don’t know much about it. They were an Oklahoma based video automation company in the 1980s. #commodore

had a great time at #nwpinball arcade show in Tacoma! Check out our blog to see our booth & previous events we’ve participated in. See you at VCF west and Southern Fried Gaming Expo coming up in July & August! icm.museum/blog/?p=320 #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #retrogaming #gaming #pinball

A really cool Microsoft "Magellan Project" scroll wheel mouse came in! It seems to be either a prototype or an engineering sample.

We’re working on an interactive punch card where you can punch up to 80 characters and have it read and displayed after. See you at #sfge July 31st-August 2nd in #atlanta #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #data #records #storage #ibm

First guest to make it to Oregon! Congratulations 🎊 #retrocomputing #retrogaming #vintagecomputing #gaming

@sdforg.bsky.social If you’ve got the drive, now get the pants! ;-)

Would you like to adopt a big CRT that we're having a hard time selling? For only $30 at our Kent location, you can pick up this 36" SD CRT! It has a plastic-transfer scratch on the left side. Unfortunately this is time limited and if it can't be picked up by Tuesday, May 26th, it will be recycled.

We’ve adopted our first PET .. 2001 .. Commodore. Wasn’t this inspired by the set of STAR TREK TOS? Word on the street is if the SPACE and R E T U R N keys are not worn it wasn’t used much, but the dymo and paper labels are curious. #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing

I seem to have no spare working Amiga floppy drives around, so I just setup a Teac FD-235HF-3240 to work with the Amiga. If you have a 3XXX version of this drive, there are bunch of small jumpers: Set RY34 (Ready signal on pin 34) and DC2 (Disk change on pin 2.) Then set DS0, FG, HA, HF and NMK.

This quirky ASCII alphanumeric terminal will soon be at icm.museum thanks to efforts by others. Have you ever seen or used one? They’re not widely known about. The first version was numeric only #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing #dataentry

Coming soon to icm.museum/blog thanks to Eric’s expertise (and obsession)!

Spending a few hours at the Interim Computer Museum working on their NEC APC. It’s the first color model I’ve come across, and the first one with a full complement of cards (including the RAM expansion and hard drive controller!). #RetroComputing icm.museum

Commodore Pets 8032 are 1 Mhz 6502 processor based computers. Henke built a custom sound card for the pets dedicated to generate sounds. One pet is dedicated to video. One pet is dedicated to sequencing. All programmed in assemble language of course. Today’s live act:

This was the peak of #vcfpnw on Saturday .. a much larger venue than the final ICF, but we’re planning for more next year! #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #retrogaming

After a wonderfully successful VCF PNW in Seattle, the Plexus P/20 is now in the hands of the Interim Computer Museum! icm.museum Coming soon to a telnet session near you.
