The last photo I posted of the Kaypro 1, I expressed that I found it puzzling Kaypro ditched the "universal" motherboard that most of their computers used, in favor of adapting a new board from the Kaypro 10 model.
Well after some research it seems that as the CP/M market died, Kaypro wanted to reduce the number of cp/m machines they produced, which in 1985 consisted of the Kaypro 4, New 2, 2x, and Kaypro 10.
The 4/new2/2x all shared the same internals, minus some very minor differences in hardware (such as having or not having a real time clock, or internal modem). The Kaypro 10 used a different board than the other computers.
I guess the thinking for ditching the "universal" board for 10 style board with the Kaypro 1 was that the ten had sold well for Kaypro, and continued to sell well. While the sales of the floppy disk based systems (the 4 et al.) had fallen off considerably.
So in order to save costs, Kaypro ditched the universal board in favor of the 10 board, and created the 1.
This actually almost makes the "1" model name make sense because it's more in line with "10" and the "1" replaced several models, with just 1 model.
Some contemporary literature mentions Kaypro working on or released a Kaypro with one disk drive, that would list for $995. I think that these statements are probably all incorrect, and the people writing them probably were refering to the Kaypro 1. The Kaypro II was called the II because it had two drives- so industry writers may have mistakenly thought the Kaypro 1 would be released with only one disk drive, going by the name. Or other simple miscommunication between Kaypro and the press about the 1 could have lead to the exact same mistake.
Although the 1 had just been introduced for 1986 and took advantage of Kaypro 10 parts... Kaypro also announced in 1986 that production would be ceasing on the 10! They also stated the 1 would be dropped and the 2x would be brought back... despite the announcement apparently Kaypro realized how silly this would be, and the 2x was never brought back. The 1 became the sole cp/m offering from Kaypro in 1987, and production of all kaypro portables (including the MS-DOS 16 and 16/2) ceased later that year.

Nikon D300 / Tamron SP AF90mm F2.8 Di Macro
They say "One man's trash is another man's treasure". Saw someone threw away this vintage thing and I simply couldn't resist myself from picking it up for my collection. Thankfully enough, this player's internal electronics are all good and kicking, but I couldn't verify if it still plays. Created a 9-exposure HDR and applied some mild PS layering stuff.
La Makina Optical Co., Ltd fu una casa giapponese attiva tra il 1967 e la metá degli anni ottanta. In Giappone era conosciuta anche come Makina Kogaku Kambushiki Kaisha. La Makina Optical fu fondata nel1967 in Gotanda, Shinagawa, Tokyo e pare che all'inizio la costruzione fosse del tutto artigianale, in un garage sul retro, e che si avvalesse dell'aiuto di numerose casalinghe pagate a cottimo che assemblavano i pezzi a casa. La Makina produsse anche obiettivi per conto terzi, come Vivitar e Hanimex. Nel 1974 iniziarono peró a commercializzare obiettivi sotto il proprio nome, Makinon, ma anche Makinar. I nomi Makina, Makinon e Makinar erano anche marchi registrati da case tedesche prima degli anni settanta. La Makina Optical non sopravvisse alla rivoluzione dell'autofocus negli anni 80 poiché alti costi di produzioni e progettazione di tali obiettivi erano insostenibili per le piccole compagnie. Tra gli ultimi tentativi fatti dalla casa per rimanere presente sul mercato ci fu questa MK-V, di cui non si sa praticamente nulla. Essa é peró molto simile alla onnipresente Cosina CT, nel caso specifico la CT-10 che era una versione molto alleggerita e completamente automatica della CT-1.

At the Caps game (Caps FTW!!) last night, someone kicked my phone from one step into my beer that was sitting on the step below. I didn't notice for a while. The beer drenched phone was very unhappy.
Since it's not working anyway (turns on, none of the buttons work), I figured I would perform some surgery to see if I could clear the circuit board of beer gunk. It's an old phone (like, really old), so no loss if it doesn't work. Was hoping to hold off on buying a new one, hoping against hope for a CDMA iPhone...
Update: I washed it with water first to clear the gunk, then cleaned the circuit board and the buttons (after removing it further from the housing) with rubbing alcohol and a q-tip and let it rest over night to dry. Now all the buttons work, but I can't get a signal at all. But hey, at least I can get all my contacts off the phone!
Another people-free shot, virtually impossible to accomplish at the perennially busy Olive Branch Target! Mind-boggling to think of how many people walk through this store a given weekend, and how few walk through the Horn Lake store. I say few; obviously it's enough to be profitable, and it makes for a great experience (who wants to go to a crowded store?!), but it admittedly does feel light.
Anyway: this is of the snazzy Target Electronics desk. I thought this was a standard part of all stores with this style; that is to say, I thought all stores remodeled with this look got this electronics desk. But as you'll see later this summer, at least one freshly remodeled store still has its same old “boat,” just like Horn Lake. Maybe they only put these in new builds...?
I also have to say, I'm really going to miss the layout once Horn Lake inevitably remodels. Having the music and movies still in the front of the store has been awesome, and something I've grown used to. It's so weird having to go all the way to the back in this store! I know they have their reasons for putting the section there, though...

I photographed this when I was buying the lens, while the 650D (not this unit though) followed suit five months later.

The Nixie Watch project plods on! Software development begins.
Every project needs to go through this phase, at least in my scheme of handling things.
Here we see the Development Environment of Kings hosting an Atmel ATTiny861 microcontroller (MCU). Just out of shot is my laptop, upon which I wrote software for the MCU that causes it to blink an LED. This is a nice quick way to make sure that I haven't fried the chip and that I've wired everything up properly. For the programmers out there, I consider this step to be the "Hello World" of MCU programming - though this implementation is a bit more sophisticated than it needs to be; the LED blink is driven by a timer interrupt.
This version differs from the IN-14 clock version linked above in that it's all powered by batteries. One of the challenges of designing the watch software will be to set it up so that the MCU draws a minimum of power - not a pressing issue for a clock which is going to be plugged in to a wall socket, but critical for a thing like this which I would like to run for months on a trickle of current.
The little black box in the center right contains 2 AA batteries, which are standing in for the single lithium watch battery which will run the MCU in the real watch. Below it is the display power supply with its own battery. Getting the MCU and display working together is going to be the tricky part. To conserve power, the MCU will run a program that will cause it to immediately shut itself off - but not quite all the way off; it'll be just awake enough to notice when the display power supply fires up. That is, when the watch's wearer presses the button to show the time. At that point the chip will awaken, fetch the time from a crystal-based real time clock chip (not yet wired up), and start showing it on the nixies. When the wearer releases the show-time button, the display power supply will be disconnected and the MCU will notice that, stop trying to display the time, and hibernate again.
Interestingly, if you find such things interesting, this is the way most battery powered computerized widgets work; for instance, games on the Nintendo Game Boy (which I used to program, back when I was younger and even dumber) spend most of their time with the main processor asleep like that. At least they do if they were written well.
After a bit more fiddling I will be able to wire this to the display prototype and it will start being a watch - at least in the functional sense. Trying to wear the prototype on your arm would be like wearing a very geeky buckler.
A small and simple camera for 3x4cm exposures on 127 film. Made by Ferrania in Italy, from 1959. Made of metal castings and some sheet pressings for the back - so feels quite heavy and solid. Two red windows - to use each film backing number twice for the "half-frame" size. Note the very small, portrait-format viewfinder (on what is quite a small camera to start with); the viewfinder eyepiece on the back is reeealllly tiny.
Two-speed (1/100, 1/50) + B flash-synchronised shutter; Acromatico 58mm f/7.7 focusing lens with a stop for f/12. There is a small red signal on the back showing when the film is advanced.
Looks a lot more delicate than the Ibis 44. See also rear view.
This one has an odd fault: the label around the lens is shifted around by about 10°, so the focus scale is a little off; presumably a manufacturing error. This is how it came; it could do with a little cleaning in the corners here and there.
the old silkscreened kind. discarded.

Jan 29 2017 [Unexpected] Tragic news out of Quebec City tonight as we are learning of a shooting in a Quebec City mosque that killed at least 5 people. The news is unravelling very slowly so details aren't all that clear at the moment. So sad to hear this.. my heart goes out to the victims and their families. One minute someone is praying in peace and security and in the next minute the world's paranoia comes and takes their lives. I know all Canadians will stand up against this and support one another to end this type of hatred and sensless violence. It just seems crazy I even have to say that.. what a world we're creating...

The Rodenstock 240mm f/5.6 Apo-Sironar-S Lens is a standard lens for the 5x7 format or a slightly wide lens for the 8x10 format (it can also be used as a telephoto lens on smaller formats). Designed for universal use, it has been modified to provide the highest image reproduction quality. Its applications are practically limitless. but the special strengths can be seen when complex, fine structures in the adjustment range have to be reproduced.
