This PDP-8/s is at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View CA. The PDP-8/s was the first computer to be available for less than $10,000 US. It was also the first to be sold off-the-shelf. It was popular for its time because of the low price. 1024 units were made. The "s" in the name stands for serial, although some said it stands for "slow". To economize on gates and transistors, all arithmetic operations were performed serial-by-bit. The PDP-8 is a 12-bit word-length machine, so to add two 12-bit numbers, they were cycled through a 1-bit adder, and added 1 bit at a time. The machine was constructed using modular "Flip-chip" plug-ins. Many of the plug-in modules were interchangeable -- thus a module from the program counter could also be used in the accumulator. One common module contained two flip-flops (4 transistors), thus functioned as two bits in a register. The front panel displayed pretty much the entire state of the machine. The far right column of lights showed the phase of instruction execution. The next column of lights from the right shows the current instruction opcode (all eight of them!). This computer featured 4K words of core memory.

I just threw out boxes and boxes of old eight inch floppy disks.
I threw about six boxes of old stuff out of my garage this afternoon. Here's part of what you can find in my dumpster if you go diving for it before trash pickup day.

Comme le nom du jeu l'indique vous pouvez, dans se wargame de 1981, jouer deux campagnes des guerres napoléonienne. En l'occurrence la funeste bataille de Waterloo et celle de Leipzig.
Le jeu se joue, soit à deux joueurs, soit un joueur conte l'Apple II. Dans se cas à Waterloo le micro jouera Napoléon et à Leipzig celui des alliers.
Se wargame a un fonctionnement classique mais avec une particularité. L'ordinateur joue le rôle de vos commandants de corps d'armées. et communique avec vous à l'aide de rapports. Mais il se montrera très humain en commettant certaines erreurs d'estimation et même en désobéissant parfois. Il faudra apprendre à maîtriser cette fonction, en anglais.
A noter la présence dans la boite de jetons cartonnés représentant vos unités et à utiliser avec les cartes fournis
** Sur cette photo une petite partie de la carte de la campagne de Waterloo **

This afternoon, our Photo Friday group had the pleasure of being invited to a private photo shoot at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. Many thanks to our hosts at the museum, and Marcin for setting it up. (If you want your fix of old computer photos, feel free to browse the 1,500 other ones in his photo stream :-)
This is a photo of a Lehmer Sieve -- I tried really hard to come up with a clever title, but without any luck (feel free to suggest a better one in comments). Despite the crazy colors, this photo wasn't heavily edited in PP -- mostly a little unsharp mask and a tiny bit of brightness/contrast tweaking.
Here's what the museum had to say;
"Derrick H. Lehmer (1905-1991), professor at UC Berkeley and his father Derrick N. Lehmer (1867-1938), a leading number theorist, built computing machines to solve mathematical "sieve" problems. Number sieves perform tests to eliminate numbers that cannot be solutions to a problem, and thus find those that are potential solutions. One of the simplest uses of sieves is to determine prime numbers... The metal version could check 5,000 combinations per second, a record that was only beaten by computers in the 1960s."
Il s'agit d'un Macintosh 512 spécial "EDucation" (M 0001D) comportant un lecteur de disquette 3,5'' de 800 ko au lieu des 400 ko du modele standard.

Charles Babbage (1791-1871) designed the first automatic computing engines. He invented computers but failed to build them. The first complete Babbage Engine was completed in London in 2002, 153 years after it was designed. Difference Engine No. 2, built faithfully to the original drawings, consists of 8,000 parts, weighs five tons, and measures 11 feet long
This one is Serial Number 2 and is located in Silicon Valley at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.
