  1. Die Schickardsche Rechenmaschine wird 400 (vcfb23)

    Die 1623 von Wilhelm Schickard entworfene Rechenmaschine kann mit gutem Recht als Urahn aller heute bekannten Rechner gelten. Der Vortrag skizziert die historischen Zusammenhänge und zeigt die spannen

  3. Recovery of Software from the 1950 Whirlwind Computer Project (vcfb23)

    This talk reviews work done jointly at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Computer History Museum to recover software developed in the 1950s on the Whirlwind computer, noted as the firs

  5. 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

  7. 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

  11. Feeling sickly today, and will therefore stay home instead of going to day 2 of #vcfb2023 (as I promised several people). At least I managed to be there yesterday!

  13. 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

  15. “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: vcfb.de/2023/stream.html #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #vcfb #vcfb2023

  17. 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

  21. Ok, day 1 of #vcfb2023 is over for me. It was phenomenal, I met many amazing people and learned lots of new things.
    Favourite new piece of knowledge: at one point, the Whirlwind graphic supercomputer of the 50s occupied 2500 sq.ft. over several rooms.

  22. 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

  24. 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

  32. 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

  34. @stdevel the Blades run Debian Linux (I think 7 or 8). The older devices run OpenBSD. The Ultra 5 had also Debian Linux before it died ... But of course it doesn't make much fun, running current operating systems on ancient hardware... So I will have a look what treasures they have at the #vcfb2023 next saturday ... Running old Hardware with old software makes a little sentimental 🤣
