Shelves with some old tech on them.
One of the neighbours was throwing out one of those IKEA LACK floating shelves, so I put that up today. Helps to keep some of the retro-tech stuff tidy.
And yes, it is a bank holiday, in fact it's E-fucking-piphany!

Finally moved it physically with a USB drive. We […]

A track by RM is shown playing on the screen of the Minitel 1.
For its latest trick, the Minitel 1 can now act as an interface for playing music on the PiDP-8/i (which is really a Raspberry Pi in disguise).
This is what the kids describe as "neat".

Minitel 1, PiDP8/i Pi-powered PDP8/i simulator and Ericofon
Okay, I think we've got this aesthetic locked down.

PiDP8-i computer running on a Raspberry Pi and a Minitel showing a DIR screen from the aforementioned simulation.
Okay, the Minitel 1 is connecting to the PiDP8-i as a terminal. That was something I wasn't expecting to figure out before lunchtime.
