MY ANTIQUE COMPUTER COLLECTION BELOW, Updated 09-01-2011.

By Dan Mathias
I think the older computers are much more fun than the new ones, well in six months the new computers will be out dated any way, then I'll add them to my collection.

Me and my Intel Paragon systems and IBM tape drive

I WISH I HAD A CRAY SYSTEM !!!!!

Imsai 8 bit computer WOW. Wanted one of these since I was 15. Cost New over $500.00. Donate by Sherwin and Shirley (aka "Shyrl") Ham radio name K2OZK. A little history on the system:
IMSAI 8080 which my husband built in 1974 or 1975. He and I both learned Assembly language on that computer, and after we got basic, I would enter programs (mainly games) from the dozens of books coming out on Basic - my job was to improve on them, eg. using a person's name and tallying each game's score. From there I branched out to write a program to handle his meagre financial holdings, but I included charts -years before these things became ho-hum. After that, I branched into the Commodore 64 and 128 - both great machines; I was in heaven when we could finally afford 20k of memory! :-D .

INTEL Paragon XP/S Super Computer, 96 of a i860 processors, 64 bits Unix!, WOW, Cost New $1.2 million dollars in 1994 for the 2 cabinets, have 5 of them, more information coming soon.

MASPAR 2101 super computer, it has 1024 PE cmos processors, Max Mops =1600, 64 meg Data memory, Cost New over $700.000 dollars in 1992. .

CRAY 3 super computer processor board 1 ns processing time, cost over 300 million dollors to develop in 1995. The Cray-3 was intended to be Cray Research's successor to the Cray-2 supercomputer. The system was to be the first major application of gallium arsenide (GaAs) semiconductors in computing. The project was not considered a success, and only one Cray-3 was delivered. .

THE VIC 20 MY FIRST COMPUTER, WOW .

The Mark 8.
1974 Radio Electronics, The First 8 bit computer kit. It had a Intel 8008 processor and 1101 Dram memory for a total of 1k of main memory.

I own one finally, 8080 cpu, 16 K ram, S-100 buss

MicroData 1600 Mini computer The MicroData 1600 just came in on the truck on 3-8-2000, boy what a mess, it was in a persons barn for over 14 years. It was full of bird droppings, mouse fur balls and squirrel nuts, I spend an hour hosing it off with water and antibacterial soap, it smells and looks much better know. The photo shows the removable hard disk units laying on there sides after a good washing and the main 1600 unit and tape drive in the background. I will update this page in the coming weeks to show more photos of the unit being restored to function. This is a photo of the front face plate of the Mirodata minicomputer.

World of Robotics Links

The second annual National Robotics Week will be held April 9-17 2011 recognizing robotics technology in the USA.

A great magazine I would recommend to read to learn about electronics and robotics.

My dream is to one day goto M.I.T. to continue my enginnering degree and build advanced robotic systems with Rodney Brooks and the other great minds, there at M.I.T.
I admire Rodneys work with C.O.G and his robots Genghis, they have advanced robotics to the next step in there evolution to becoming more life like..
