Almost finished the #PiDP8 kit today! Loads of soldering! Just one bad LED had to be fixed by replacing it. It works pretty well and it’s awesome! The #RaspberryPiZero2W does all the emulation. Can’t wait to write programs via the front switches – and play SpaceWar! later on. But before that I have to finish the casing! #ComputerHistory #electronics #decpdp #decpdp8 #pdp8 #SpaceWar 👉 http://www2.rdrop.com/~paulmck/projects/spacewar/

Preserving Floppy Disks

Time is almost up for magnetic storage from the 80s and 90s. Various physical limitations in storage methods from this era are conspiring to slowly degrade the data stored on things like tape, flop…
