a cool looking media centre(?) (i love these things and i find them super cool. if i wasnt sorting out a move i would buy one now)
apple 2 clone called "banana" (genuinely looks super cool, if i were smarter i would love to fix it up. apparently from thailand? friend found a news report on them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFjGq55BglM )
radioshack TRS-80 (very cool! almost bought it but then i realised that i don't actually have any use for one, nor any of these other computers, seems to be one with a keyboard that doesn't suck!)
a uniboard 6809 "computer" and "keyboard" (don't know what this thing is, some kind of hobbyist computer based around the 6809, which was also used in the TRS-80... did this belong to someone who made programs or even games on these systems?)
#6809
Motorola has done some fairly interesting things in the world of computing history, despite being overshadowed by Zilog and MOS in the 8-bit era. Their 68000 CPU line is obviously one of my all-time favorites, powering many iconic computers from the mid-80s onwards. However in this episode, we will be looking at a somewhat obscure yet highly impactful thing they made that shaped quite a bit of historical systems. And that is the, uhm... the data sheet for the Motorola MC6883 Synchronous Address Multiplexer.
I swear this is more interesting than it sounds.
