My New Webpage

A little history of my involvement with 70's computers, including our beloved Ataris.

Wow! I love that dual screen monitor station, that was something WEIRD. I would love to build something like that.

Nice page! I like the way you show the bare boards as well as the complete unit.

I saw a video lecture by Doug Crockford, he mentions that is one of Seymour Cray's early designs... way ahead of it's time.

Oh wow, I have some serious collection envy.

 

That 800 with the pre-production ANTIC and CTIA is an amazing piece!

Not to mention the proto label from the early press photos. I had thought of having those reproduced. We order custom decals where I work, so I know a few good places to get quotes from. It's probably only worth it if I make 25+, though.

[ClausB]

Thanks, all.

 

70's Computing reloaded. More content and rescaled pictures. The original pictures looked good on Safari but on IE7 many were too jaggy. I hope they are better now.

Hows your LEM project going claus...Or is that on the backburner (as the saying goes)

It has been ignored, I'm afraid, by everyone involved. I'm coaching a VEX robot team now, and we're busy at least through February. This webpage thing I've been doing in little bits of spare time. I admit the calculator hobby has displaced the LEM. Sorry.

That is a very enjoyable website! Thanks for sharing that; it is seriously interesting to many people.

Cool Stuff on your site. I've mist the best times I think...

Claus...Shame you don't have a commodore calculator (or a HP one), I had both way back when

[ClausB]

Thanks for the compliments!

After being required to work on a C64 at PDI, I want nothing to do with anything Commodore!

 

I do have a few HPs now. Did you miss them on the site? Trouble is, they're expensive to buy today, just as they were back then.

I'd be interested in those labels - please put me down for two or three!

Wow. Memories. Thanks for taking me down memory lane. Not Atari related, but the first programmable device I owned was a TI-57. Learning to program on that really set the groundwork for assembly-language programming on 'real' computers in later years.

I would take one 400 and one 800 label if you ever get them made
