Ok, it's taken most of the week, isn't pretty and I want my Kitchen table back but It Works!! Microsoft BASIC 1.0 loaded in from paper tape 😀 Still got a little work to do as it's only seeing half the RAM but that should be an easy fix.

I've just been shown this, and I would love to know more ahead of my homage to the Motorola 6847 next weekend at the Retro Computer Festival in Cambridge! It's from the Frank Lloyd Wright 'House of the Future' in Arizona from 1979 ...

Honeywell 316 minicomputer from the Maryland Technology Museum. This is the "newer" model after DDP was purchased and the computer was renamed. This is the same computer as the Kitchen computer by Honeywell, without the countertop chassis

I'm looking for an #Amiga chip - seemingly an extremely rare one: The A1000 Denise chip that does NOT support EHB mode. If you have one, please contact me (DMs open, eMail should be widely known). Willing to pay, trade, or return it after research is complete.

Did anyone get a clear SLA resin printed console or computer enclosure earlier this year?
Interested to know if it’s still clear or not?
Many SLA resins are not UV stable and will go yellow and brittle over time.
This was on an office desk for 6 months and it’s yellowed.
