Wolfgang Stief<p>Talks by Brian Kernighan are mostly entertaining, but rare. The most recent one I'm aware of was at this years VCF East (April 2025). It's about the history of UNIX and his time at Bell Labs.

rlonstein<p>(2/2) Checked each discrete then jumpered it and put power and it worked, but tapping the front caused problems. Cleaned it up again with isopropyl and tried unsuccessfully to separate the pieces of the front panel without breaking anything. I suspect there's corrosion I can't reach. Since I'm only about $10 in on this, I tried reassembling and powering it and it works on external power as long as I don't tap too hard.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/calculator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>calculator</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/vintagecomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vintagecomputing</span></a></p>

This one had a failed set of Radio Shack NiCads that damaged the battery contacts. I cleaned it up and assembled a battery pack but couldn't get it to work so set out disassembling it and testing. I assumed the TDK-made LAC failed, it wasn't stepping up the voltage from 3.6VDC to &gt;14VDC to power the display as I couldn't get a consistent reading but it looks like it's damage elsewhere from the leaks.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/vintagecomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vintagecomputing</span></a></p>

Ruby Luftyloon<p>I won an auction for an old NCR terminal recently. Got it for $2, since they clearly didn't realize what this is. (They had it listed as a CRT monitor.) If I were to guess, it's very likely 80s vintage. Having a very difficult time finding any info on this unit, though. The model number on the back doesn't provide much information. I need to track down a keyboard for it at some point.</p><p>Any pointers or advice?</p><p>Edit: Thanks for all the help! :blobfoxheart: </p><p>The terminal has been identified as an NCR 4940 VDT circa 1987. Also learned this is indeed a rebadged ADDS terminal and that a certain ADDS ASCII terminal keyboard can be adapted to work. </p><p><a href="https://blimps.xyz/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://blimps.xyz/tags/vintagecomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vintagecomputing</span></a></p>

Boris Kretzinger<p>"If you wanted to create a floppy disk from scratch, you'd first have to create the universe." Well, Carl Sagan said that about apple pie, but it basically holds true no matter what you want to create from scratch. Turns out trying to create new floppy disks is also not a small endeavor. This is the second person seriously trying afaik so far, and he's coming pretty close already. I especially like the chapter called "chasing microns". This is really something special, so go watch it 📺💾<br><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/diskette" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diskette</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/disketten" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disketten</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/floppydisk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>floppydisk</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/floppydisks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>floppydisks</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/vintagecomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vintagecomputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/diy_electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diy_electronics</span></a> <br><a href="https://youtu.be/TBiFGhnXsh8" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/TBiFGhnXsh8</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

Amin Girasol<p>I'm reading "The Challenge of the Computer Utility" by D.F. Parkhill, 1966, which was referenced in "Project Whirlwind: The History of a Pioneer Computer" by Kent C. Redmond and Thomas M. Smith, 1980.</p><p>It's a book which attempts to "...facilitate [the] growing discussion [of computer utilities] by providing a broad examination that will reveal something of the history, <br>technology, and economics of the computer utility and explore some of its possible implications for our society."</p><p>There's a wonderful digression imagining an alternative history for computing if Babbage had succeeded in building the Analytical Engine. Here is that section in full:</p><blockquote><p>It is fascinating to speculate how the course of human affairs might have been changed if Babbage or his son had actually succeeded in completing a working analytical engine. Admittedly, given the primitive state of precision mechanical technology before the twentieth century, it is doubtful that even a working machine would have inspired many attempts at direct duplication. On the other hand, the electrical relay in the form of the Morse telegraph was in general use before Babbage’s death, and there is no reason why large electromechanical analytical engines based on relays could not have been built by the end of the nineteenth century. Primitive as such computers would have been by our standards, they still would have represented an astronomical addition to the scientific resources of their time. Furthermore, in the familiar bootstrap action that has played such an important role in our own scientific progress since World War II, successful analytical engines would have spawned further improvements in themselves.</p><p>In electronics, for example, it is possible that the vacuum tube might have found its first large-scale application as a switching device in computers rather than as an amplifier or detector in communications systems. This in turn would have opened up computational and control horizons before World War I that in reality did not appear until the 1950’s. If this had happened, would automation and its first offspring, technological unemployment, then have added their fuel to the fires of economic collapse in the 1930’s? How much faster would aviation have developed? Possibly the jet engine, the guided missile, and the supersonic aircraft would have been commonplace long before the beginning of World War II. What about the atomic bomb? At this point the mind boggles, for the thought of Fascism, in all its hideousness, armed with nuclear weapons, is enough to shatter the complacency of even the most optimistic believer in human progress.</p><p>On the other hand, there was nothing inevitable about the political and economic events that have hitherto convulsed the twentieth century. In fact, given the more rapid rate of scientific and economic progress that would have followed an earlier introduction of the computer, it is extremely unlikely that the pace of political change would have remained unaffected.</p></blockquote><p>The book: <a href="https://archive.org/details/challengeofcompu0000park" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archive.org/details/challengeo</span><span class="invisible">fcompu0000park</span></a></p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/computerhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>computerhistory</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/counterfactual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>counterfactual</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/alternativehistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>alternativehistory</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/vintagecomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vintagecomputing</span></a></p>
