Saving the Quantel legacy one luma sample at a time, blundering with electronics, computers & other weird things, sometimes fixing stuff.

Spent most of today testing and cataloguing these #Quantel CPU cards. These were used in the Quantel Paintbox, HAL, Editbox and Henry from the 1990s. They each have a 68040 @ 33mhz, 64mb RAM, DMA, Inmos Transputer link and much more. The open machine here is a Quantel Paintbox Express i was using as a test platform.

Who likes #Acorn #Archimedes stuff? I managed to obtain this huge folder of services manuals for several different models. In the back it even has schematics for the A3000 which unfolds to what must be at least A1 size.

New video! A decade before Adobe #Photoshop, one company made a bespoke computer whose artistic capabilities helped define the look of 80s and 90s TV shows, music videos, and print media. So why don't we call digital photo manipulation "being Paintboxed?"

This is an excellent and fun feature on the #Quantel Paintbox, what is did for 20 years in the broadcast industry. Giving artists the digital tools they needed in the 80s and 90s...

Just preparing a vintage Arraid SMD disk emulator to replace the even more vintage 14" hard disk for a friend's Quantel 'classic' Paintbox.

The 5D 'Masher', a dual Pentium 3 Windows NT PC dating from 1999 that renders video effects for Quantel machines. It's an absolute tank of a unit. Hardware made by Intergraph!
