Ich bin jetzt seit 2003 in der Vintage-Computing-Szene unterwegs und habe in den zwanzig Jahren viele Treffen und Museen besucht. Und trotzdem sehe ich bei jeder Veranstaltung immer noch zwei oder drei Dinge, die ich bisher noch nicht gesehen habe. Und lerne jedesmal dazu. #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #vcfb #vcfb2023

TIL: there was a Unix-like operating system for Z80. A company Cromemco did CROMIX for their line of systems from 1978 up to 1982, when they switched from Z80 to 68000. #vcfb #vcfb2023 #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing

Vintage computing is for everyone: people from all over the world. #vcfb2023 #vcfb

PiDP-8 and PiDP-10. See https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence for details on how to obtain your own kit. #vcfb #vcfb2023 #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing #pdp10 #pdp8

On the history of ITS, an operating system for PDP-10 developed at the MIT. Highly interesting talk by @larsbrinkhoff at @vcfberlin kicking off day two. #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #vcfb #vcfb2023 #its #pdp10

“The culture surrounding ITS strongly influenced the free software movement and the GNU Project.” – The history of the Incompatible Timesharing System will be the first talk on Sunday morning, and since also #Emacs has its roots there, I'm already very curious. Live stream available, it starts 10:15h CEST: https://vcfb.de/2023/stream.html #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #vcfb #vcfb2023

Jetzt: 'n Talk über Disketten-Magazine. Ich mag das Aufmacherslide! #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #vcfb2023 #vcfb

Fully grown up Gameboy by berlin creators: https://berlincreators.de Not very mobile anymore, though. #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #vcfb2023 #vcfb

Early case modding: C64C, in Germany also known as C64-II in (probably selfmade) blue. On the right back: Mobile version of a C-64, named SX-64, with keyboard closed. #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #vcfb #vcfb2023

Commodore C128, child of the 1980ies. Yes, this model is from a limited design series. #vcfb #vcfb2023 #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing

Mobile phones have reached vintage status now. #vcfb2023 #vcfb #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #mobilephone

A very common joystick back in the days. It used quite durable microswitches, so one could easily compete in the Wintergames skating competition. #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #vcfb2023 #vcfb

This is a simple yet complete 8bit CPU model used to teach how a CPU works. It is programmed either manually or by punched cards. It has a continuous mode as well as a single step mode, and each single bit inside the CPU uses a lamp to signal 0 or 1. #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #vcfb #vcfb2023

CTM Textsystem by the German company Computertechnik Müller, late 1970ies. The brown knob the left side is to change the monitor angle. #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #vcfb #vcfb2023 #ctm #mittleredatentechnik

User terminals for an IBM S/370 mainframe environment. The mainframe itself was emulated in the exhibition. #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #vcfb #vcfb2023

PiDP-1, a replica of the DEC PDP-1 minicomputer. Not yet available, it’s still in prototype status. #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #vcfb #vcfb2023 #dec #pdp1

The Times They Are a-Changin’. 1950ies building size Whirlwind compared to a today’s Arduino. #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #whirlwind #vcfb #vcfb23 #vcfb2023

TIL: Ken Olsen was one of the junior engineers in the Whirlwind programme. He later founded Digital Equipment Corporation, maybe better known as DEC. #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #vcfb #vcfb23 #whirlwind #vcfb2023

Relax, it’s only Ones an Zeros. #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #vcfb #vcfb23 #vcfb2023
