Capacitor C438, the diode and fuse F401 are the parts that failed on most of our VT100s.

This computer was used for data collection in medical experiments.

The Apple IIc, the fourth model in the Apple II series of personal computers, was Apple Computer’s first endeavor to produce a portable computer. The end result was a luggable 7.5 lb (3.4 kg) notebook-sized version of the Apple II that could easily be transported from place to place.

Retrocomputing (a portmanteau of retro and computing) is the use of early computer hardware and software today. Retrocomputing is usually classed as a hobby and recreation rather than a practical application of technology; enthusiasts often collect rare and valuable hardware and software for sentimental reasons. However some do make use of it.[1] Retrocomputing often gets its start when a computer user realizes that expensive fantasy systems like IBM Mainframes, DEC Superminis, SGI workstations and Cray Supercomputers have become affordable on the used computer market, usually in a relatively short time after the computers' era of use.

Con il termine retrocomputing si indica una attività di "archeologia informatica" che consiste nel reperire, specialmente a costi minimi, computer di vecchie generazioni, che hanno rappresentato fasi importanti dell'evoluzione tecnologica, ripararli se sono danneggiati, metterli nuovamente in funzione e preservarli.

Identification plate on Burroughs TD700 Self-Scan early gas plasma display screen with main control unit and keyboard. Design Level (DL) 4 c1973.

 

Although the control unit identity plate is stamped for 240 volts, the power supply test points for 5.1v, 12v, -12v, 30v, and -250v were all up to required values on 110 volts AC supply from the variac..!

I purchased this second hand when I started collecting and had it sent down from Queensland. The Ohio Scientific computers were interesting: I gather that this and the 8P were intended for home automation, hence the huge number of ports at the back. I was told that it was horrible to work on in winter, as the fan pushed cold air up through the keyboard.

The Indy, code-named "Guinness", is a low-end workstation introduced on 12 July 1993. Developed and manufactured by Silicon Graphics Incorporated (SGI), it was the result of their attempt to obtain a share of the low-end computer-aided design (CAD) market, which was dominated at the time by other workstation vendors; and the desktop publishing and multimedia markets, which were mostly dominated at the time by Apple Computer. It was discontinued on 30 June 1997 and support ended on 31 December 2011.

An Acorn Archimedes; designed in Cambridge, it was based on a revolutionary processor named the ARM and knocked the Amiga into a cocked hat. (Personal anecdote: they had one of these in the computer lab at my school on the open day before I enrolled; when I started classes next year, I learned that it had been on loan, and all they had was BBC Micros. Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?)
