Now, I'm all about vintage computers -- vintage Apple's above most others, in fact. And I have a cadre of mechanical keyboards here on hand.
However ...

#retrocomputing and #vintagecomputing folks: I'm trying to get a sense of the proportion of people here who are into retrocomputing today but didn't experience specific classes of machines when they first came on the market. I want everyone's input! Please boost!
This poll is about minicomputers.
I've another poll for 8 and 16-bit home computers: https://oldbytes.space/@fluidlogic/116026469761027957
and another for 32-bit consumer home computers: https://oldbytes.space/@fluidlogic/116026605156645610
April 18th we’re hosting our first PiDP build workshop for experienced beginners/intermediate folks. kit, tools and guidance is provided! Interested?

I think I'm making some progress on AdamNet stability on the FujiNet. I've been booted into CP/M for over an hour while trying to debug an application, constantly loading my program from FN disk and then dropping back to the A> prompt, and I haven't had to hit reset once.

A small bit of my interview on UNIX V4 at the Computer History Museum is now published! It also features interviews with Al Kossow (@bitsavers), Len Shustek, Jon Duerig, and Warren Toomey.
My friend and I also found a bunch of cool old switches in the Electrical Engineering stockroom, including some that look like they’re from an old mainframe or minicomputer. My stuff is the 4x4 keypad and to the right; his is to the left, including the huge vacuum tube and panels. (Check out his YouTube channel for vintage computing stuff, including a recent 1920s adding machine find: https://www.youtube.com/@TheMajorTechie.)

I picked up a Linear Instruments Corp. Model 255 chart recorder from University Surplus today! I’m going to put it to use, plotting air quality, network traffic, temperature, or something fun.

Going online in the early 90s was wild.
Compute!'s Gazette has an article about sound cards for the Amiga, and it mentions the Amiga Real SID Player Zorro II card by Christian Bauer. It allows playback of SID tunes on an Amiga using a real SID chip through DeliTracker.
This got my interest, but in looking for info online, I just find years old Amibay listings. Is this an old, no-longer produced card? The magazine didn't mention as much.
Are these for sale somewhere?

A great project next which uses the Generic USB Display (GUD) protocol to turn an STM32 microcontroller into a high-performance USB to VGA adapter for an old arcade cabinet's CRT - capable of weird resolutions, to get the most from the screen.

we collected a bunch of Crays. The Y-MP EL in front is currently working, the others behind will be restored one day.
