Usagi Electric, Forgotten Machines, & Nevets at VCF Southwest 2025

[Usagi Electric], [Forgotten Machines], and [Nevets01] collaborated on a massive exhibit of unique old hardware.

[Usagi Electric] had an interactive exhibit with his recently rebuilt PDP 11/73 running examples of spectroscopy analysis using a Bomem vector processor. [Usagi] also demonstrated a Data General Nova 1210 running BASIC.

[Forgotten Machines] had a variety of old terminals, computers, and peripherals on display. He was on-hand throughout the show to help anyone image and preserve their old magnetic media.

[Nevets] had an interactive exhibit with a Data General Nova 1200 running BASIC alongside a (sadly non-functional) Digital Computer Controls D-116, a clone of the Nova 1200.

i need to really put in the time and effort to learn some of the older computer systems i love and fixate on so much to the point where i can in fact actually program my own software for them that i can use on a regular basis as self expression

Shout out to Pizza Time Theatre's one of a kind red painted ADM-3a terminal used to run the SongCode System for programming animatronics at their corporate offices.

The unit was originally white with custom hardware connected to its serial port in 1978. By 1980, it was moved to the corporate offices and painted red to match the programming desk.

By 1983 Pizza Time Theatre would upgrade their central PDP-11 unit to a PDP-11/23, sadly switching out the terminal for a standard VT-100.

LEGO Ideas: 1975 PDP-11/70 + DEC VT100

This was an unpublished LEGO Ideas draft for an iconic 1970′s computer set. The draft was rejected for undiscernible text, so I may resubmit it another time when I feel like it.
