Do you remember Hugo's request "what is the correct writing sequence of letter "E" " ?

Hello,
very nice computer museum. IMHO the hard disk section could be enhanced: here is my list of "must-have" historical disks.
IBM 3370 (14''), the first with thin-film heads;
IBM 3380 (14''), the first commercial disk >1 GB;
IBM 62PC, first 8'' drive;
Seagate ST506, the first 5,25'' HDD;
Maxtor XT1140, first HDD with in-hub motor (I see a 5,25'' Maxtor in Your pics... maybe it's a 1140...)
IBM 0681 Redwing (5,25''), the first with PRML encoding;
Conner CP3022, first 3,5'' drive;
IBM 0663 Corsair (3,5''), the first with magnetoresistive heads.
The 1,3'' HP C3013, aka "Kittyhawk", and the IBM's 1GB MicroDrive are also great additions for such a collection.
The IBM 3340 (1973), the first all-sealed (Winchester) disk, is much more difficult to find.
Best,
Paolo

I have made some pictures at one of the 2 annual trade-fairs.
It includes a lot of pictures from the museum, but also a pair from a new section: HIFI jewels.
Here are the pictures:

Nice to see the old reel-to-reel recorders and oscilloscope! I think you should expand the test equipment range. Old 'scopes look so cool when they are running

This looks a really great place... I'll be sure to make a stop when I next go to Netherlands.

Excellent pictures, Leev.

It looks like the museum has been growing and has one of Everything made!!!
(Ahem...Do you worry about those circuit boards being out in the open with hungry collectors on the loose?)

Really nice.
I'd have liked to be there.

What fun! I wish there were more gatherings like this near me.

We need to have a annual meeting somewhere, I think it would be so fun to meet some of you!


Maybe we could have a meet around the time Demotronic has there Chip Day.

Windmiller, when is that?

If a bunch of you guys from over the pond can get some cheap air tickets by booking in advance, I'd be pleased to go on a euro trip!
