It's saturday night and the mods are asleep, time to post photos of classic supercomputer boards.
@th those old hpc boards are just all so pretty.
@th I just learned this morning that i860 and i960 are different CPUs :o!
@th never realized that the cmos battery in the NeXT was actually in a battery holder! that was pretty advanced for the time where hardly andybody cared for the time in 6+ years.
@th actually, now that I look through my sauce-stained kitchen drawer of recipes, I find myself wondering what a modern kitchen computer might look like. Integrated scale, detachable cutting board, checklist...
@th nice way of phrasing it, but the hardware was more like other 'workstations' of it's time like the SparcStation 10 or some IRIX systems, not so much PC-like.
@th Oh I guess the row of LEDs at the front
@th okay I'm going to bite on this thread. Do these count? They're hanging on the wall of my office..
@th oh my god. That looks so much like the /34 I built way back when. RX01, RL drive(s), and... TU58?
My days of having fully built 11s in my house are over (though I have a PiDP/11 that is always in the background during my video calls :)
Also everyone should own at least one VT 1xx terminal.
no rules, just supercomputers.
