This is an IBM SMS card post 1969 even though the card format had changed with the System/360.
The NPN transistors are date code 1970 but are IBM 030 and 044 transistor models defined in the late 1950s.
The IBM module (on the right) is early SLT (Solid Logic Technology).
The card is from a 2420 tape reader. Tape machines and other peripherals kept the SMS format and the component technology longer.
My car... Same location as the other camaro... loved the place so I had to do it with my own car. :)
I got more from this set coming up.
Strobist Spirit
Not really strobist but Strobist Spirit? getting your light off the camera and using a small source.. and done afford ably.
So how did I do it?
Small light source running off a another car's cigarette lighter. Long exposure of about 6 seconds to walk around the car.
The IBM T221 WQUXGA 9 MP monitor (3840x2400). Twice the resolution of the Apple 30", packed into a 22" monitor. The small window is a full-sized 80x24 xterm with font "fixed".

The IBM PC was introduced in 1981. It had an enormous impact, consolidating the diverse computing market around a recognized leader and inspiring a legion of clones such as Compaq. For years afterward, "IBM compatible" was an important selling point for home computers.
For gaming, the IBM PC was an also-ran for years. Games like this one, in ugly CGA with PC speaker sound, were minimalist compared to other platforms. For example, many games of this era supported three-channel sound on the Tandy (a significant improvement over the simple bleeps and bloops of the PC speaker) and even MIDI using separate Roland sound modules like the MT-32.
This is my old IBM desktop setup (I still use my SGI O2 as a primary desktop computer). It will be moved to storage soon. It was used as my secondary desktop for a long time.

This little piece of history is an IBM 62PC Disk File, an IBM term for what has today become commonly known as the Hard Disk Drive. This particular model was the first ever hard disk example to use an 8 inch recording surface. It uses a mains driven spindle motor running at 3400 RPM via a belt drive and a voice coil head positioning actuator, under track follower servo control. Developed under the codename "Piccolo" at IBM Hursley in Hampshire, England, this drive shipped in 1979 and was included in a number of IBMs midrange systems. These included later versions of the System/34 (Introduced 1977), System/38 (Introduced 1979) and in some early AS/400 systems. IBM also shipped a washing machine sized storage facility called the 3310 Direct Access Storage Facility which had provision for up to two of this drives per cabinet for a total capacity of 129MB. This was primarily aimed at customers using the IBM 4331 Processor and those with the low end of the IBM System/370 range of processors. As far as I know, IBM continued producing these drives right up to 1991, presumably for customer support purposes. The cat got in the way, however she does show to good effect the size of this unit. Total capacity of this device is 64.5MB. Incredible how far technology has come in such a short space of time...
New IBM cloud capabilities are expected to allow Zitouna Bank of Tunisia to improve application availability and reduce end-of-day batch processing time for daily transactions by more than 85 percent, from over 13 hours to 70 minutes. Greater operational efficiency will allow the bank to focus more on introducing innovative banking products for their clients, such as mobile services and Internet banking, and less on managing their daily business operations. -- Photo courtesy of Zitouna Bank and IBM

IBM Think exhibit inside Innoventions in Epcot's Future World. This was an interesting mix of technology history, present day and thoughts for the future. Got me to thinking of how far we've come in the last 35 years.
Wow...I missed a lot while I was visiting this exhibit. Watch this video and check it out the next time you are at Epcot.

Testing the macro on the thinkpad logo. First focused picture after 20 tries :-)
My hands didn't shake on this shot.
On my way into today's Mashup camp I met one of the volunteers at the Computer History museum who took me in to see what he's up to. He worked for IBM for 35 years and is now spending his days fixing up one of the first IBM mainframes (i think it was a 1400).
