 [[http://retrocmp.com/projects/qbone|"QBone"]] is a micro-Linux system that can be inserted into a DEC-QBUS-PDP-11 (or MicroVAX). In realtime, it emulates memory, serial interfaces as well as disk- and hard drives. Despite defect or missing original hardware, the machine can thus be kept running. Why [[http://retrocmp.com/articles/frankenstein-pdps|"Frankenstein"]]? Well, because an incomplete or defect PDP-11 (or VAX) is stitched-up with modern hardware and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoW7Szkppww&t=655s|twitches again]] ... This exhibition features three DEC-QBUS computers of different performance classes: LSI11/03 (64kB, 1975), PDP-11/73 (4MB, 1984) and MicroVAX (32MB, 1989). With the emulated disk- or hard disk drives, a great variety of operating systems can be booted and tried, such as the UNIXe "LSX" (which runs in 56KB RAM and boots from a diskette), UNIX V6 as documented in "Lions Commentary"), 2.11BSD, the PDP-11 Unix with TCP/IP support and 4.3BSD "Quasijarus" for VAX; in addition, DEC's XXDP diagnostic environment is supported, RT-11, RSX11-M and VAX/VMS 7.3.\\ [[http://retrocmp.com/projects/qbone|"QBone"]] is a micro-Linux system that can be inserted into a DEC-QBUS-PDP-11 (or MicroVAX).

 ==== OqtaDrive – A Sinclair Microdrive Emulator ==== ==== OqtaDrive – A Sinclair Microdrive Emulator ====
 The ZX Microdrive of Sinclar is a magnetic mass storage device that uses small endless-cassettes as storage medium. First introduced in 1983 as an external drive for the ZX-Spectrum home computers, two devices where built into the Sinclair QL that appeared one year later. Already at that time, Microdrives were not known for their high reliability. Today, it is thus even more difficult to work with a Microdrive. Especially cassettes are often not usable anymore. This motivated the [[https://github.com/xelalexv/oqtadrive|creation of a Microdrive emulator]]. Unlike already existing contemporary mass storage solutions for the Spectrum and the QL, this project offers a transparent and "historically correct" emulation of the Microdrives. This means that there is no difference between the emulator and a real drive on the computer. On the hardware layer, the Microdrive interface is used and system hooks on the Spectrum/QL are not required.\\ The ZX Microdrive of Sinclar is a magnetic mass storage device that uses small endless-cassettes as storage medium.

 Axel Ehrich is a collector of old computers from Clausthal-Zellerfeld in the Harz region of Germany. In his walk through the basement, he will show many historical computing devices and tells stories about them. The guided tour is aimed at the general public, no prior knowledge is required. Devices shown are old game consoles, computers, individual parts from Zuse to Apple.\\ Axel Ehrich is a collector of old computers from Clausthal-Zellerfeld in the Harz region of Germany.

Our principal interest was, and still is, in deciphering complex dynamic structures of "behaviour" of the Galois fields, in particular GF(2), through visual and audible effects by usage of interactive [digital] computer systems applying the "Hidden [Digital] Data Structures Method" (© bcd team). With the aim of employing the results in the field of CyberneticArt, by improving "pixel graphics", "pixel sculptures", and "pixel installations", based on the "Artistic-Scientific-Transcendental Pixel Principle" – "[Digital] Pointillistic" CyberneticArt Point of View (© bcd team), we further contribute distinguishably, but complementary, to the computer art community. In addition, we focus on implementation of CyberneticArt for resilience of the [digital] information society.

 ==== The Swedish Educational Computer Compis ==== ==== The Swedish Educational Computer Compis ====
 The Compis (COMPuter In School) was a mid-1980s attempt by the Swedish government at producing a computer for Swedish schools. The result was a desktop computer running CP/M on an Intel 80186 CPU, but mostly incompatible with all other computers on the market. It was sold only to schools, not to private individuals. Very little software was made for it, and it was ultimately a failure. The Update Computer Club is a long-lived computer club founded in 1983 by students and staff at Uppsala University that brings together people with an interest in computers, both new and old. We will perform a live demonstration of one of the Compis computers in our collection, trying out a bit of programming and showing some of the software we have preserved. The demonstration will be broadcast from our club rooms, which hold our vast collection of historic computers. To learn more about Update, see also [[vortraege_workshops#update_computer_clubhistory_and_not-so-certain_future|our lecture]].\\ The Compis (COMPuter In School) was a mid-1980s attempt by the Swedish government at producing a computer for Swedish schools.
