Thats awesome, where did you get one of those from?
I have a copy of this on my desk, I am planning on getting an FPGA to do something useful with it. A real PDP-11 would be a 100 miles better.
It is, there are some fascinating stories to discover. I suggest Brian Bagnall's incredible book, Commodore - A Company On The Edge, which is the best account to date of what went on inside Commodore from it's founding up until Tramiel's departure in 1984. The Plus/4 is well covered here. The sequel, Commodore - The Amiga Years will be released in a few months time, also. I cannot recommend his books enough.
What a coincidence.... the day you posted that photo i was reading your book :-). It was a great read, btw, i love reading such "diary/autobiography-like" books (i also read A Microsoft Life yesterday by Stephen Toulouse).
If you want a great book about computing in the heady sixties and seventies, I highly recommend John Markoff's What the Dormouse Said
Nice. I wanted one of those, the Atari Portfolio or one of the HP line for a while, but I wound up getting into Psion Series 3 instead.
Probably the most useful thing would be a compact flash card formatted with FAT16 or FAT32 and a PCMCIA adapter for it. That's what I used to get files back and forth to similar Windows CE machines years ago.
TMK works just fine as an inline adapter. You can build it however you want.
Otherwise, you're pretty much looking at this: https://www.amazon.com/Griffin-2001-ADB-iMate-Universal-adapter/dp/B000067V8L
"Theory Z - How American Business Can Meet The Japanese Challenge"
BTW, I still use that keyboard. IBM made the best mechanical keyboards back then.
Okay that's one impressive bag of PCMCIA accessories. I had the same 10baseT card and the CF card adapter. But you're missing the most important one.
Thanks! I found a used copy of the book via Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Giant-Book-Computer-Games-Hartnell/dp/0345316096/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500166471&sr=8-1&keywords=tim+hartnell%27s+giant+book+of+computer+games
Hey, Shuttle! I had one of those with an Athlon XP, Geforce 2, and a pair of 40GB Seagates inside.
Turns out they're still in business, selling new machines in the same form factor
And apparently still available for purchase :)
still available complete with reviews from 1999
Would you call it... A friendly orange glow ?
What about these two:
Those pictures remind me of an old book I have somewhere called 'Wall Systems and Shelving'.
Or that OP should buy quite a few cans of compressed air or just buy one of these blowers on Amazon.
I was just researching some retro gamepads, I wasn't prepared for this this early. On the plus side, I somehow scored an old parallel port Sidewinder for $2.24 with Prime shipping.
Had to change capacitors once. Thats about it. Had to upgrade my gaming rig last year to a flat panel due to space. I absolutely hate it. CRT is so much better.
This was the love of my gaming life
The network cards are generic Intel 21143 network cards - they are a "reference design" card, tons of manufacturers made identical cards. (Intel made the schematics available for free!) Nearly every OS made since Windows 98 SE should have drivers for it built-in.
Dear $deity, whipper-snapper! That "first motherboard" is roughly equivalent to the one I bought for the computer I built when I was in college! Nice board with onboard Matrox graphics. Sad no AGP. The port shield for that should be readily available - that was the "standard backplane layout" (the VGA port location was generally either VGA or a second 9-pin serial port.) Ah, here you go: Standard ATX I/O Shield - $3.49
To find out how fast the "second motherboard" Pentium is, take the CPU out, it will say on the labeling on the underside. And THAT PORT IS NOT POWER!!! That is an AT keyboard port. (The predecessor to PS/2.) You can use a standard PS/2 keyboard through an adapter. You'll want a PCI video card - ISA will be painful. You also might want serial and/or parallel back-panel cables. (Single 9-pin Serial, Parallel, Dual 9-pin/25-pin Serial.)
