I'm going to play some of my lesser known personal #C64 favorites from back when I was little in about an hour on my #Twitch channel here: https://www.twitch.tv/thejanbeta Real Commodore 64, real me, real nostalgia, first stream in a long while. #RetroGaming #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

We're doing a module utilization check on the PDP-10 KI10 decsystem-10. Come join us!

Having been a "demoscener" (± 1000 years ago), I've got a soft spot for retro demo effects. Someone recreated a number of them in JavaScript and Canvas:

I've found the vintage-modern modem we all deserve, but perhaps never knew existed. This is a modded board which supports 115,200 baud via serial to the host, connecting upstream to modern 802.11 wifi.

Fond memories of my Hayes 14.4K of the same design, running on a Compaq 486DX2 50MHz. With an upgrade to 8MB of RAM it was fantastic on Borland Turbo C++ and Ultima VIII.. no gui, no worries. Teenage me never wanted to disconnect.

This KL10 might just run again

This is MIT-MC.ARPA, currently in preservation. While it may not be necessary to run all of its subsystems, we might be able to bring up the 3 bay KL10 CPU and Front End processor and emulate the rest.

We are evaluating it this summer. Would you like to help? Check out the blog and follow our activity.

MC is up.
Live Long and Prosper!
Shine Brightly and Phosphor!

We'd like to restore our Symbolics 3670 LISP machine and our Thinking Machines CM-2.

Commodore PET 4016 upgraded to 32k. Refurbished with fantastic help from here:

https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/showthread.php?t=218958

I got help which included the creation of a 6502 zero page RAM tester that didn't exist for PETs - 45 years after the PET was made.

Several chips replaced including most of the RAM and four out of five of the 40 pin chips. And a new label applied as the old one had gone.

Thanks very much to @simon_brooke for letting me have it.

I'm looking to pick up a HP Draftmaster II, RX, MX, RX+, or MX+ pen plotter. Do you have one or know someone that does and wants to part with it? I'm in the US Mid-Atlantic region.

Thanks for a boost!

The DEC Type 340 is on its way to getting a newly implemented controller using modern components.

FAA to retire floppy disks and Windows 95 amid air traffic control overhaul - On Wednesday, acting FAA Administrator Chris Rocheleau told ... - https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2025/06/faa-to-retire-floppy-disks-and-windows-95-amid-air-traffic-control-overhaul/ #governmenttechnology #airtrafficcontrol #vintagecomputing #chrisrocheleau #infrastructure #transportation #legacysystems #modernization #usgovernment #floppydisks #retrotech #seanduffy #windows95 #aviation

I am looking for an Amiga 2000 CPU accelerator that features a physical enable/disable switch.

Anyone have one sitting around they're looking to sell? I'm using a 68020 accelerator now, so anything would be faster.

Dear Computer History people: I'm searching for books covering the history of the MIT Media Lab.The only one I found so far is "The Media Lab" by Stewart Brand, released in 1988. So a bit dated. Are you aware of other titles, which also cover the time AFTER 1988? It might be titles on other subjects but with a significant amount on the MIT Media Lab.

Edit: There is some material on their website as well: https://www.media.mit.edu/about/history/
