Pictures of my 8 bit setup and computer room |
These are just some pictures of the room I spend a *lot* of time in. And with good reason! :) As a kid I always fantasized about a room just for my computer related stuff. Well, here it is!

My 8 bit setup. There's a lot of different configurations I can do here. I can hook up any of the old computers to either the 1702 monitor, TV, or the RGB monitor. I can also run emulators via TV-out to the same video outputs.

Here are some pictures of the process of getting images between the PC and the old computers. I can do this with just about all of my vintage computers but this particular example shows the C64 and the X1541 cable.
This one shows my TI99/4a using the FinalGrom99 cart. Under the shelf you can see a power station, and a lot of video, communication (USB, RS232), and printer hookups.

Storing all this stuff takes up a lot of space. Here's a picture of the way I deal with this.

This are some collages I made a long time ago. Can you recognize some of the contents?

8 bit books
|
8 bit games

I also have a few old dot matrix printers. Currently I have a Star Micronics NX-1000C, Okimate 10 and 20, and an Imagewriter II. These are getting to be hard to find as well as finding ribbons for them unfortunately.
