The Dragons are comingβ¦π
Day one of our Dragon Meetup is fully underway and itβs buzzing!
If youβre around this weekend pop in and say hi!
A desk containing a huge Positron 9000, an HP1660A logic analyser and a DataPulse βExchequerβ which is also Positron powered.
All set up at @computinghistory.org.uk, βliveβ debugging of the Positron 9000.
That top right picture is *mumbles* years old and I didn't have a grey beard then. Now I do so come see that AND both Positron 9000-based monsters. I'm also bringing my HP1660A logic analyser so I can probe the depths of one or possibly both of them over the course of the weekend π
How did you guess?!
IT LIVES! The three-headed Dragon is alive! Yes, this Dragon has three independently controllable displays - 80 columns via the DragonPlus board, a Yamaha V9958 via the Supersprite board and the Dragon's original display. Come see the beast this weekend! www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/76704/Dr...
