One of our volunteers painstakingly cleaned this grotty Apple ][e keyboard today. She wore gloves
From left to right an RCA COSMAC ELF, Arduino based Altair 8800, a PiDP-8i and an SBC-6120 PDP-8e on a chip with a pocket chip.
@marzlberger Vintage versions are still the best for DOS graphics editing if you're into #retrocomputing.
After a few weeks of procrastination, I finally took the time to read up on how to use EDLIN.COM. There's simply no way around it if you want to work with early versions of DOS from the 80s.
This here is me adding a few new lines to the AUTOEXEC.BAT of an IBM DOS 3.30. It ain't much, but it works!
Im sorry, Unix owes it's history to Space Travel?
"As a part of porting the game to the PDP-7, Thompson developed his own operating system, which later formed the core of the Unix operating system."
Some nice #keyboards albeit not all of them are a #MechanicalKeyboard at #VCFe (Vintage Computer Festival Europa) in #Munich this weekend.

The keyboard is let down by the tiny enter key which is right next to the raised ridge on the keyboard tray. I'm sure I would get used to it if I was banging away on the Psion every day. Still, the keyboard on the eMate is nicer and neither one can hold a candle to the best portable keyboard ever made. #retrocomputing #psion #newton #nec #modelt
Started disassembling and cleaning a nice, compact PC keyboard from 1993 with mechanical key switches. It even still has a switch for XT/AT compatibility, though I'm not sure what they smoked when deciding where to put that switch.
Can anyone identify this device serving as a desktop computer prop in the show Dexter? First appeared in season 3, so about 2008 time frame.
Almost looks more like a switch or router. Might have a CF card slot on the left front. #retrocomputing
