    Fond memories of these, one system had an attached non-DEC tape drive. I worked alongside a guy called Denis, known to all as Den - he (or we) could put in a 6250 tape and the LCD on the front would say "HI DEN", always made me chuckle

    Con las tarjetas perforadas, que ya habían sido desechadas, se construían las mechas para un deporte popular colombiano llamado tejo. Estas tarjetas servían como envoltorio para almacenar un poco de pólvora y se colocaban sobre un objeto cilíndrico de metal que estaba enterrado el greda(arcilla humeda). Una persona se ubicaba a varios metros de distancia y lanzaba un objeto metálico llamado tejo con la intención que golpeara alguna de las mechas para hacerlas estallar.

    Tape drive in a draw may sound clever, and it takes up less space. But when the tech has to figure out why a tape will not load they lose their first most valuable troubleshooting tool, observation ! PDP-11/45 was my favorite machine to work on as a tech. And knowing it as well as I do provided me with a fun career. DEC BADGE # 7636. By the way, I have a DEC magtape of the ASCII images from 1974 or so. Don't know which computer museum to send it to. Including Spock holding the Enterprise model.

    Born in late '81 and I can just about recall using a BBC micro in school. There was a game and I can't remember the name - I think it involved hexagons or cells that you needed to capture or invade. Hopefully that rings a bell for someone. The computer that really sticks in my mind was the Archimedes. A favourite memory of mine was of our primary school head teacher showing us the game Lemmings .

    Didn't the graph showing the 10 month break in reading u-boat codes/transmissions and tonnage sunk correspond to a huge increase in u-boat construction and commisioning? Can someone explain how enigma/lorentz code breaking knocked 2 years off of the war, its often parroted but never with a follow up explanation.

    Not sure why he kept using "added" when he mean "EORed". It's a computing audience and he not shy about using no more obscure terms like Chi-1 Chi-2, so why not just use EOR after explaining what a binary EOR operation is? Using the term "adding" easily confuses casual listeners.

This was a true pleasure to listen to every syllable of this story. Everything was perfect: diction, dialogue, delivery, pacing, volume, technical explanations sparse but brilliant use of diagrams and photos, etc, etc, etc. A communication tour-de-force! BRAVO!!! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful effort!

    All these ‘shortened the war by two years’ claims that circulate are bunk. They forget there were three wars being fought. The one all across the globe that millions were involved in and killed tens of millions. And the two that started in 1945. An enriched uranium bomb war. And a plutonium bomb war. The war in Europe was never going to go to spring 1947. If Germany had dominated central and western Europe in late summer 1945 the uranium and plutonium wars would have destroyed the cities of Germany in the fall of 1945.

    Can you attach a physical floppy disk drive to it ?

    • @Eratosthenes0815
      @Eratosthenes0815 3 дні тому

      If you want to, you can connect original hardware like floppy interfaces, or even the Interface 1 + Micro Drives to the expansion port. It's a bit fiddly and runs with restrictions as you have to disable features of the Spectrum Next to run the original hardware. Not sure if all existing interfaces are supported "out of the box" especially when they are powered via the expansion port. As mentioned, this may be fiddly. But it's fun to make it run... If you just want to access data you can mount disk images with NextZXOS or even access the whole file system of the SD Card using ".-commands" or NextBASIC or an API. Depends on what you want to do with the system. - This is much more comfortable "nowadays" and my way accessing data today... ;-) P.S. (edit): Loading data from .tap files, .z80, tzx, ... and even disk images can be handled using the browser as shown in the video. Read- and write access is possible in most of the cases.
