Blake PattersonI've put a gallery of photos I took during the INIT HELLO Apple II conference at the System Source Computer Museum this past weekend online for anyone who might like a look at some of the festivities.

Paul HouleI've had minicomputers on my mind lately, particularly the old PDP-11.

RuaToday at the <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/HomeComputerMuseum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeComputerMuseum</a> repair department, a big minicomputer-like thing from the early 80s. Made by Compudata, a Dutch company that would later rename itself to Tulip Computers. We haven't really been able to find anything about what it is, despite having the faceplate with a name on it.Also, with it came a big chonk of a hard drive, capacity not known. The hard drive seemed to include controller hardware, and consisted of a whopping FOUR separate PCBs stacked on top of each other. Thankfully the top two could be tilted upwards. The hard drive has some electrical issues so we're not sure if it still works.Not shown are an equally large second computer case, containing two 8-inch floppy drives.<a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a> <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/Minicomputer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Minicomputer</a> <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/Compudata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Compudata</a> <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/TulipComputers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TulipComputers</a>

Debby<a href="https://mastodon.social/@soulscircuit" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@soulscircuit</a> They look amazing! 🤩 I really love the design, but I do have one suggestion: would it be possible to move the ports to the top next to the screen? Having them on the bottom left near the keyboard might be a bit inconvenient or annoying for left-handed users who hold the console with their left hand. 🤔As for the color, I'm a bit boring, but I think a metallic silver or gray (like options 2 or 6) would look great. What do you think? 🤗 <a href="https://esperanto.masto.host/tags/PortableConsole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PortableConsole</a> <a href="https://esperanto.masto.host/tags/Pilet5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pilet5</a> <a href="https://esperanto.masto.host/tags/minicomputer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#minicomputer</a>
