So wir sind angekommen und haben angefangen, unseren Stand aufzubauen:
Anlässlich der Karl-Marx-Städter-Window-System-Tage 2025 stellt das VE #Kombinat #Robotron seine neusten Erzeugnisse vor:
- Die #KC87 Disketteneinheit des ZFK Rossendorf gibt es jetzt auch in der Farbe Fuchsia!
- Der bewährte #Z1013 wird neu mit USB Modul ausgeliefert!
- Ungeschlagen: Der ChessMaster von MME Erfurt
Neee... Ist natürlich der Stand vom @c3d2 mit viel #retrocomputing
@trondd It was in school, to somehow process the results of some pupil competition. I spent most of the time to hack an impressive ascii intro with title, author and copyright fluff flying in.
And yes, that #kc87 keyboard is hell.
Maybe I prepared the code in advance and just typed it in instead of actively developing it on the machine? I'm not sure. That was 32 years ago. I only remember the great intro and my surprise to get paid for this. Easy money.
Back to #retrocomputing with some personal commercial history.
I did the fun programming in #Atari BASIC on my own the 800XL. I earned my first money for a program on #kc87, wrote the first *useful* program for money on the A7100 running a CP/M clone, but never got my hands on the real deal: the big office computer A5120.

My first computer was a Robotron KC 87 in 1988 near the end of the GDR. Sitting in front of the cassette recorder and listening when the program starts was very exciting 😎 What was your first computer?
