Vintage Computing – Dean Yergens, PhD

Vintage Computing Collection

Bill Gates – “Microsoft has had clear competitors in the past. It’s a good thing we have museums to document that.”
[Infoworld, October 1, 2004]

The purpose of this collection is to document some unique items that have been used over the years. Some of the items here have been used on various projects related to medical informatics or global health. As I have time, I’ll try to document how the equipment was applied and which projects it was used on.

Mattel Aquarius (1983)

The Mattel Aquarius was targeted towards the home market. When it was released it was under-powered compared to other systems.
It had a Zilog Z80 processor, 4K Ram and Microsoft Basic in ROM. The collection includes the CPU, Data Tape Recorder, 40 column printer and Mini Expander. Also, includes LOGO programming language.

Texas Instruments TI-58C Calculator

The TI-58c was an early programmable calculator from 1977. It had the ability to add storage “ROM Program Modules” (an insertable ROM chip, capable of holding 5000 program steps).

Have 2 manuals (Master Library and Personal Programming), Quick Reference Manual and Project Brochure. Have 25 Solid State Software cards and 8 blank ones.

IBM DOS 2.1 Manual and Disks

When the IBM PC first came out, the packaging of the user manual and software came in these cardboard boxes with a pull out 3-ring binder.

Yahama CX5M II Music Computer (1984)

Uses the MSX operating system which stands for “MicroSoft eXtreme”. Used mainly in Japan, Middle East and Eastern Europe.

Have the manuals and several of the cartridges. Additionally have a TI Tape Recorder (missing power adapter).

IBM 7690 (1992)

The IBM 7690 is a clinical computer that folds into itself. It was designed for mounting on a wa

Strangely, there is little information on the internet about this product.

The NeXTcube was developed by Steve Jobs when he was forced out of Apple. When it was first released (1990-1993) it sold for $10,000. When Steve Jobs returned to Apple, the Operating System NeXTStep became the basis for The new Mac OS (which is currently still used today).

The Hyperion is an early portable computer that vied to be the first portable IBM PC compatible. It was a produced by the Canadian company Dynalogic in January 1983. The Hyperion was shipped in January 1983 at C$4995, two months ahead of the Compaq Portable.

Tablets (Mobile Computing)
One area of interest is around Tablets and their evolution from mobile computing. Even though the iPad sparked the adoption of tablets in a significant way, bringing other devices like the HP TouchPad, Android and the Microsoft Surface, other devices preceded this evolution. such as the Apple Newton and Microsoft Ultra Mobile PC .

In terms of healthcare, one interesting item was the Zenith CruisePad that was a tablet that essentially did remote control of a workstation (since it lacked the power to run its own applications on the device).

The Apple Newton was a device that we piloted in ~1994 as a way of collecting data in the ICU. Interestingly, Apple was developing “graphical icons” for the medical area at that time as well.

SD Card Interfaces
One thing that I find neat are the new SD card interfaces for old computers (Atari and Commodore). I had always wondered about the lifespan of 5.25″ floppies. C64 are called SD2IEC; Atari 400/800 are called SIO2SD; Atari ST are called UltraSatan. I havn’t located one for Apple II or the Amiga.

SIO2SD vs SDrive Comparison

SD drives in the Collection:

AtariMax.com – SIO2PC Universal RS232 (allows the Atari 800 to connect to a PC file system through RS232/USB
JBrain.com – uIEC/SD v3.1 (allows C64 to use a SD card)
SCSI to SD http://www.codesrc.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=SCSI2SD

Atari/ColecoVision/IntelliVision Flash Carts

Another innovative new creation are cartridges that can be programmed using a USB interface which allows them to be used in the original hardware (i.e. Atari 400 computer)

Sun Java ring + iButton Serial Port connector (1998)

Java Ring (iButton) wearable computer with serial port interface. 6K Ram. This ring came from Emil Sarpa (Sun Microsystems) via Dr. Christoph Sensen.

Eight Inch Disks – Microsoft Fortran v2.8 and v3.1 from 1978. This is when Microsoft had just 11 employees and was still based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Notice the old Logo. Fortran was Microsoft’s 2nd product after BASIC. It ran on the Intel Intellec ISIS-II Diskette Operating System (DOS) on the Intel Intellec (http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=754).

Macintosh Portable (1989)

Two Macintosh Portables (with 1 case). Ran System 6.0.4 through System 7.5.5.
Motorola 68000@16mhz.

IBM 5140 (1986)
The IBM PC Convertible, released April 3, 1986, was IBM’s first laptop computer and was also the first IBM computer to use the 3.5″ floppy disk which went on to become the standard. Like modern laptops, it featured power management and the ability to run from batteries. It was the follow-up to the IBM Portable and was model number 5140.

HeathKit ET-3400 Microprocessor Training system (1976)
Motorola 6800 1mhz and 256 Bytes

AT&T Unix PC – this is an interesting computer as it ran Unix. The keyboards are “Hall effect” used in high reliable areas. I acquired 2 of these computers, documentation and disks, rare tape storage device and 2 additional keyboard/mice for spares.

DEC Multia Alpha – also known as the Universal Desktop Box since it could run a variety of OS including Windows NT, VMS, DEC TruUnix, BSD. I am hoping that with the Alpha processor it can run OpenGenera (Lisp OS).

Next Computers was the company that Steve Jobs formed after being ousted from Apple Inc. The computer he created was the Next Cube and Nextstation which were both high end computer workstations. Apple later acquired Next computers for their Operating system which is the basis of the Mac OS X. When Apple acquired Next, this lead to Steve Jobs returning to Apple and recreating them.

Atari Inc.

Atari is mainly known as a gaming company because of the Atari 2600 gaming console. However, Atari had a line of computers that began with the Atari 400 (membrane keyboard) and the Atari 800 (regular keyboard). Other models followed such as the Atari 600XL and 800XL. These models mainly competed with the Commodore 64 and Apple II computers. Atari then created a the Atari 520ST/1040ST series which had a Graphical User Interface (TOS) and competed with the Commodore Amiga and Apple Macintosh. The Atari ST was known for its music capabilities as it included built in MIDI.
