But, did you know that the Dutch are responsible for a wide array of fabulous computers. Some massive, some small, but all, INCREDIBLY interesting. It's for that reason, Octav1us and I took a trip to the Home Computer Museum in Helmond (which is in the Netherlands), to see these wonderful creations and to learn how the Dutch do the Computering. Creations include the Compudata Sorcerer, Tulip Computers, the Dai Computer, the Tulip System one and the incredible Aesthedes 2: Good god, what a thing.

Father still has a Dutch designed and made/assembled Holborn terminal (with light pen). Sadly the museum he donated the 'mainframe' and spare terminals went to went bust. Holborn were going to do some custom hardware for us to meet some sort of demand, but sadly they went out of business before that could be completed. From the top of my head I can't remember the purpose of that need. The system contained 4, eight inch floppy drives for database storage, and that set duplicated again for backup/ ; so at least 2 washing machine sized boxes were constantly clicking and buzzing away. Because the cables were all run through pipes under concrete and slate floors, dad made a custom switchboard should something go wrong with routing (printers). I can still remember the dot matrix printers screaming for hours when they went through reams of paper. The custom sound isolating sound proof booths my father made for those printers helped, but they only made the sound come down from 'ears are actually bleeding' level to 'my ears only feel like they are bleeding' level. We have no idea were the system is after the museum went dark and we hope it will make it's way into this collection. Those printers sounded a bit like this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-no1vf854aUc.html They had very loud belt motors and relais

Currently there are like 3 places like this in the Netherlands. HCM Helmond is the best place to actually use all old home computers. It has a nice size, not too crowded and well presented. You can also grab some nice stuff from the shop where their surplus of donations is sold. VGM Zoetermeer is also very nice, 90% an arcade with all-you-can-play. They still have some old home computers for use. The most amazing collection is at Bonami, but it is so huge, it can be overwhelming, and albeit it may have as much for use as HCM Helmond, you feel lost in an abandoned warehouse all the time. What also makes the HCM nice is the open attitude of the staff, they also do repairs and they are always in for a chat.

Hopefully there's a Sord M5 in there somewhere...honestly mate, this is amazing. Especially that CAD system...it'll be good to see that up and running again.

Ahhh, around 1:45 - Tandy TRS-80, may dad had one and I actually wrote my first programs on that one. Nostalgia indeed!

"This thing, look at this!" - Camera keeps focusing on the person talking... Really?

luckymouse1988 And the host and cameraman both not realizing that with their camera’s shutter speed indoors, there’s lots of motion blur, and thus if the camera is in constant motion, there’s no way to see anything in focus, even by pausing.

I'm absolutely amazed at how much computers, and the internet evolved in such a short amount of time.

@craigdaubbeats-rapinstrume9185 3 года назад

I'm extremely appreciative of it to as a musician, because it helped out tools evolve as well. Computers just make everything so much easier which allows us to be even more creative. And I'm more of a hybrid producer who used software and hardware tools. People get into the debate of one or the other, I personally enjoy the best of both worlds.

I suspect one factor for Exidy's computer not doing well here in the US might have been because they were previously under fire for their 1976 Death Race arcade game being deemed immoral and violent. They probably also didn't have the advertising reach or budget that Commodore, TI, or Apple had either. But the funniest thing about that is it was only a few years later that they made Chiller which makes Death Race look like some quaint little programming exercise by a bedroom coder.

WOW! At 8:48 a *Maze-A-Tron!* Mom got one of those for Christmas in 1979. I have not seen one since we wore it out in the early 80s. We loved that game.😁

Cool. I have this and probably 100 other LED games, 200 VFD games and 100 LCD games. The museum has a few, maybe I should collaberate.

True story- when i lived in Amsterdam I also tried carrying a PC home on my bike once- against the advice of my Dutch friends :/ It ended up spread across Herengracht while I tried to pull out the spoke which had gone through my knee...
