Ha! I thought to myself watching this yesterday, that dude with all the chips has to be a member here!

Looking forward to the coming episodes!

If anyone missed curiousmarc:s series on restoring the Apollo AGC, it is truly a gem. Amazing to see all these talented people gather in one room.

This is quite interesting work. I just watched part 1, and I can't wait to see what they have to do to recover the data. Now going to watch part 2...

I looked video it is very interesting! So many MСM and their sizes are visible relative to each other, fantastic))

Very compelling, watched both episodes with great interest.
Cool to see that an interest in computer antiques can be used
sucessfully for computer data archeology

Last but not least (since this is @ CPU-World) a very impressive
MCM collection

In the early 80's, I bought and sold the old IBM gear
like the IBM 3741 / 3742's that used these big 8" floppy drives.

I still have some of these giant drives that came from the IBM
3274 coaxial controllers.
