Do you use #openbsd at SDF too? The proactively obscure Linux-like operating system!

We just completed a build workshop at ICM, we’ll be doing more this year!

We have a place for them John, thank you!

We had 12 builders in the PiDP-11 workshop and by the end of the day everyone had completed their builds and had blinking lights! Congrats 🥳🎉 #pidp-11 #soldering #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing #workshop

Surprised I came across some sketches I did not know I had scanned/archived. This is an early Glider sketch when the paper airplane was the more common kind.

It looks like electrical outlets might have given you "shots", not destroyed you. Ceiling ducts were bad too.

I have a few more I can post.

We’re getting ready for our first PiDP build workshop this weekend! We’re completely booked for this event, but we’ll be doing another one later in the summer. A guided and assisted build! icm.museum #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing #electronics #soldering #workshop #kit

We’re DEC fans, but the 3B2 played an important part of SDF’s history in the early days. Here is an original model 300 SBD. We offer remote access to a 1000-70 #unix #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing

Do you know the Cambridge Computer Z88? (made in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿)

We’ve added a few ChipScapes displays which exhibit fundamental components and integrated circuits that are the fundamental building blocks of our vintage computer systems.

We’ve got a few more on their way.

A new game for the classic Macintosh? Yes please.

Transfer Point is a modern graphical text adventure and is such a cosy experience.

We voted to improve the roads, transportation and schools which are all rolled into the price

Shall we play a game?

Last day of #norwescon48 and we’ve got an intersil micro PDP-8/e available for a nice game of chess.

We’re at #norwescon48 at the SEATAC double tree today and tomorrow #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing

Thank you to @UW for inviting us to TGIF at the Paul G. Allen school for Computer Science and Engineering. The MITS Altair 8800 running @Microsoft BASIC was a hit. #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing icm.museum

VCF PNW flyer

Reminder! VCF PNW in Seattle is coming up. I'll be one of the exhibitors, so if you're in the area, please come and say hi and stay for the retro goodness.

They’re doing a $1m feasibility study.

Reintroducing a classic … ICM announces a new replica for 2026!

While we do have a real Altair 8800 that we demo, we’re working on our next workshop which will be to build a Altair 8800 replica and learn how to use it. We’ll announce the date for this at VCFPNW next month!
