Ik zie nu dat deze machine maar 1 jaar in productie is geweest. Hij is ECHT uit die tijd...

Ernst Mulder's Calculator Museum

Ernst Mulder's Calculator Museum. A collection of calculators, with images and descriptions of their peculiarities.

I can safely say that it's been a while since #DigiKey sold #resistors in pre-packed bags of 5 with included card labels. As their own brand. Made in Taiwan.

Or called themselves "Digi-Key Corporation".

More seriously, I found a bag of #components left over from my senior year of school, when we did our big final project. Mine was a computer-controlled slot machine. Components were seriously expensive then; I organized a group buy with 4 or 5 of my classmates through "Digi-Key", partly because they were cheaper than the local suppliers (see previous story about the "Two Weeks Ten Bucks" guys), but also because we could get quantity price breaks on stuff that was common between our #projects, like the 1 kΩ resistors. IIRC, the resistors cost about $0.30 each in the 5-packs, but the bag of 200 was *way* cheaper - about half that, I think.

These were ordered in 1997, so almost 30 years ago. In addition to #vintage resistors, I found ZTX549 PNP #transistors (still in stock at DigiKey today!), MJE2955T #PNP transistors (also still in stock!), 3 different brands of 741 #opamps, including made-in-Japan and made-in-Malaysia #NEC, TI ones from Taiwan and the Philippines, as well as #TI TL081CP and LM318P from Taiwan. Also a bunch of 74-series logic #chips and some weirder stuff, like a #Motorola MC14412, which is essentially a 0-600 bps (~baud) modem-in-a-chip.

So if you need some vintage components, hit me up 😉

Nem só de FUZIX vive o UNIX em micros clássicos. - Retrópolis

Recentemente falamos de PDP-11, UNIX e Hackaday, vocês devem estar lembrados. Mas vocês conhecem o UNIX99? Nem eu, até ver esse comentário no OSNews: Tenho trabalhado no desenvolvimento de um sistema operacional para o TI-99 nos últimos 18 meses. Não era minha intenção — meu plano original era desenvolver bibliotecas C padrão suficientes para ajudar
