#computermuseum — Public Fediverse posts

I intended to write this post about -9- months ago (not to mention maybe a few other posts as well), but the world got crazy and life got busy and, well, better late than never.

INIT HELLO: A New Apple II Conference (Scope Creep Done Right)

( Note: registration is open for INIT HELLO 2026 -- to be held once again at the System Source Computer Museum outside Baltimore, MD -- until May 24th! )

( But today is the last day you can order a t-shirt! )

My good deed of the day was this #NES from 1985. After many Q-tips and drops of chrome polish, all six games, including Mario Brothers, are working again. A friend donated them after he couldn't get them to work. The problem wasn't so much the internal connector, but rather the contact surfaces of the games. #RetroConsole #Nintendo #ComputerMuseum

💻🤔 Oh, the 12-minute saga of PC compatibility! Apparently, if your device can't time travel back to 1981 and run IBM 5150 software, you're doing it wrong. Who knew the secret to modern tech was being able to impress a computer museum? 🙄🔧

Irgendwo in meinem Chaos steht noch ein alter #NeXTcube … meine Erb/inn/en werden damit nichts anzufangen wissen.

Falls es irgendwo ein #Computermuseum gibt, welches nicht in privater Hand ist und daher nicht in Gefahr, mit seinen Besitzern auszusterben, würde ich den gerne spenden. WENN ICH IHN DENN FINDE 😬

#SuperFrog, very nice jumper & run on our #Commodore #Amiga500

Which game. A hint - ported to #Commodore #CDTV.
#OpeningDay #ComputerMuseum

An exclusive preview for my followers. The open day setup, #Commodore #C64 with #Roland interface plugged to external port is driving several #synthesizers. You hear the live produced sound, not a mixed in background sample.
Come to see it tomorrow and Saturday in #computermuseum #Visselhövede.

Now the rare Motorola #MC6809 in the #Thomson #TO7-70 has found a worthy place next to its successor in Atari. The light pen works on a tube TV without any problems. However, the accuracy is like 'oh, I hit the left top of the screen' :) At the time, however, it was quite a unique selling point of this computer.
#Retrocomputing #Motorola #ComputerMuseum

It was a quick evening to get the floppy drive of the #Thomson #TO7-70 working. When I opened the case, I immediately noticed that the floppy cable had come loose from the drive and was hanging around. I plugged it in and did a quick test; no more "NO DISK" errors. :) I also took the opportunity to do some cleaning, add a missing foot, format a C64 floppy disk with DSKINI0, and save a BASIC test program. Everything's working great, and it's ready for the exhibition. But first, I'll take a look at the cartridge with the 6809 assembler.

The #KneisnerM100 has finally arrived in its natural habitat. Even though it takes up quite a bit of space, it's found a nice spot next to its successful Z80 successors from England. It also survived transport in the car well and is now booting its #TurboDOS smoothly.

What a beauty the #KneisnerM100 has become. My daily work would be called "case modding" nowadays ;) It literally appears in a completely different light now ;) Tomorrow I'll be working on the expansion box, so after a year and a half, I can tick off this exciting project.
If any of you are coming to the HNF in Paderborn in October: The current plan is to bring it to the RCT at 11th & 12th of October 2025.

Last steps to do is to mount all components properly and some electrical wiring for fan aso.

Fahrt von Bielefeld (Mitte) zum Computermuseum Bielefeld (Senne)

ACME Labs e.V., Sonntag, 18. Mai um 12:50 MESZ

Am 18.5. radeln wir von den ACME Labs in Bielefeld Mitte zum Computermuseum Bielefeld in Senne. Alle sind eingeladen, einfach mitzuradeln oder zu versuchen, uns mit Stadtbahn und Bussen (s.u.) zu überholen!

Wann? Sonntag, 18. Mai 2025, 13:00 Uhr

Wo? Acme Labs, Mühlenstraße 5, 33607 Bielefeld (Nähe Ravensberger Park)

Die Hinfahrt dauert etwa eine Stunde bei gemächlichen Tempo. Nehmt ein Getränk und einen Snack mit! Ich fahre lieber Waldwege als Straße, also nehmt eher nicht ein Rennrad mit schmalen Reifen.

Bei schlechtem Wetter solltet ihr 10 Minuten früher zum Treffpunkt kommen. Evt. fahren dann einige oder alle mit Stadtbahn & Bus:

ab: 18.05.25, 12:52 Uhr: 14 Minuten (663m) Fußweg zur Haltestelle Krankenhaus Mitte

Stadtbahn 4 ➝ Bielefeld, Stieghorst

ab: 18.05.25, 13:06 2 Krankenhaus Mitte

an: 18.05.25, 13:15 1 Stieghorst

Bus 30 ➝ Bi-Heideblümchen

ab: 18.05.25, 13:22 D Stieghorst

an: 18.05.25, 13:40 Ehrenbergplatz

Bus 37 ➝ Bi-Eckardtsheim, Pontus

ab: 18.05.25, 13:51 Ehrenbergplatz

an: 18.05.25, 14:01 Heidegrundweg

11 Minuten (527m) Fußweg nach Wilhelmsdorfer Straße 138 (Computermuseum Bielefeld)

Spätestens 18 Uhr fahren wir zurück. Bei warmem Wetter gehen einige von uns auf der Rückfahrt vielleicht italienisch essen im Dakota Inn (Am Flugplatz 1).

Yesterday I configured two VMs inside #proxmox to run some museums specific software. Learned some new stuff in this great software, i.e. store the backups in a NFS share on a second machine.
First is #PartDB as inventory software for our whole stuff including the library like books and software. And second is #Omeka for additional information about the machines in our exhibition.
It looks like we'll have a long way to go to get our entire inventory in order.

Yesterday my media history master courses visited the "#Rechenwerk Halle" museum - a huge collection of #GDR computer hardware and software.

Here you can find a foto documentation of the excursion:
