recupero di quattro sistemi SGI Onyx, tre Reality Engine2 con cpu r4400 e una Infinite Reality con processori R10000
Tra pochi giorni verrà inaugurata a Cosenza la nuova sede dell'associazione di Trashware e Retrocomputing "VerdeBinario"
Questo è il mio piccolo contributo alla causa.
Grazie ad Emiliano per la collaborazione..
e per i due floppy gialli!
ATTENZIONE: Nessun Floppy è stato maltrattato per la realizzazione di quest'opera!
Tomy Tutor, games, "joy stick", and data recorder. I'm missing three games and the joy controllers, and that's about it...

Spotted in the window of a computer shop in Frankfurt (Oder), a vintage 1980s DDR office computer. According to the sign next to it, the Robotron K8924 was introduced in 1982, was based on a Z80-clone processor, had 64Kb of memory (the maximum address space for a Z80-compatible), and ran a CP/M-a-like operating system. I am intrigued to notice that it has a QWERTY keyboard, rather than the QWERTZ keyboard more common in German-speaking countries.

Commodore Dynamic Total Vision, aka CDTV, nowadays a collectors' item, was in many ways, the first attempt at a set-top box, such as an AppleTV, Roku, TiVO, etc. No, it didn't interface with TV programs, but it was meant to connect to your TV, so you could play games, and use multimedia apps. It was basically an Amiga 500 inside. Check out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_CDTV for more info.
And, yes, that is a NeXT workstation above it. :-)

Two PhD students at a physics department wanted a computer on their own, and started to build a PDP-8 clone, based on what was available in the 1970. The system is built based on the Intersil IM6100 CPU. They had access to documentation via university. Everything is built by themselfes, beginning with the board layout, exposition, etching and soldering. They have extensive documentation on their work. There exist exactly two of those systems worldwide. Both still working.
Commodore C64G with Commodore 1082 monitor, 1541 II floppy drive, 1530 C2N Datasette tape drive and Multi-Function 2002 (aka Micro-Händler) joystick. Uridium game loaded.
Pentium 200 PC with Windows 95 and a Philips monitor. The screen reads "It's now safe to turn off your computer" in Polish. Also featured Bratek, a Polish commie-era telephone.
The Z8 was a microcontroller introduced by Zilog in 1979, competing with the Intel 8048. Note that the Z8 is entirely unrelated to the better-known Z80.
This is the side of the QUIP package that is down (toward the printed circuit board) when inserted into the socket. On each side two staggered rows of contacts are seen. The legends are printed on the kovar lid which seals the die cavity. The on-centerline oval and off-centerline round hole match plastic posts in the socket used for keying.
Note that Intel labeled their QUIP parts on the other side, along the probe contacts, so that the labeling was visible when the part was socketed.
