Tag 1: Britische Genialität
Der erste Beitrag über die Neugestaltung des Computermuseums widmet sich britischer Genialität und den britischen Homecomputern der 80er Jahre. Es ist schade, dass die Briten nicht mehr Teil des europäischen Friedensprojektes Europäische Union sind.
Das Computermuseum des Blogs digitalesleben.blog hat einen neuen Aufbau erhalten. Die Neugestaltung des Computermuseums erlaubte mir die Computer neu zu gruppieren. In dieser Beitragreihe werde ich über die nächsten 32 Tage über meine Ausstellung berichten. Heute beginne ich mit Ausstellungsstücken, die die britische Genialität bei der Entwicklung von Homecomputern zeigt. Die Top-Geräte meines…

Part 2 of the Steve angst I wrote last week:) I couldn't just let this sit as angst so I had to give some comfort..
Ao3:https://archiveofourown.org/works/47785066
"Keep the spirit high and your heart in love. keep on movin' "
Steve can just barely hear James Taylor, or even the instrumentals over the ringing in his ears.
He knows if he listens to past-him, and follows through with the promise of asking for help when he's ready, he would be perfectly fine by now- well. As perfect as one can be without hearing or seeing and a messed up body.
He knows he's ready for help and wants to seek out the help. He just doesn't know how.
How to ask Joyce for a ride to the audiologist. How to ask Eddie to read the books he wants to desperately read to him. How to ask Mrs. Sinclair what she does for her migraines. How to ask Claudia to drop him off at the hospital when she leaves for her shift as a nurse, so that he can finally look into medication for his nerves and muscle spasms.
How to ask Mrs. Wheeler to take the kids places, even if she doesn't want to, so that he doesn't crash the car. How to ask Robin, and maybe Phil, to come with him to the optometrist so he can pick out frames. How to ask Hopper to help him get to Mindy's Bookstore because he started shaking too bad to even try to continue driving.
He doesn't know how.
He's tried multiple times. When it was late and the kids were at the Wheeler's for their campaign instead of Eddie's trailer, or Steve's dining table -they like to switch where they're playing for scenery purposes. He's tried when he was driving down a road on the other side of town, where he wasn't as familiar with the signs, and couldn't read them, or when Joyce offered to drive Steve anywhere since he's always driving the kids around.
He's tried. But he's just too tired.
He just wishes he could make all of the pain go away. Wishes he didn't wait so long to be ready for help. Wishes he didn't sit in the pain for so long.
It started with Eddie. He offers to drive Steve and the kids to the arcade "since they're already here and he's been looking to drive somewhere anyways, relax Steve". Then, continuing to offer rides whenever Steve thinks he's the one that needs to be behind the wheel, like he can sense the dread Steve feels, and he probably can.
Then it's Mrs. Wheeler offering to take the kids to the pool, to Steve's, and to take them home. He knows that he's not being replaced, and that the kids won't leave him because he's no longer their chauffeur.
He just has this feeling that everyone knows something he doesn't. He just can't figure it out, not with all the pain he's in.
Suddenly, Mrs. Sinclair is dropping off her ql teas and notebooks full of tips for pains and aches, mainly for head pains and minor injuries "don't worry, dear. I've gotten new copies and too many teas at home to fit into my cupboards. I just want them here because I remember the kids talking about the teas you have" before offering a kind smile and heading to her car to leave.
He uses the books, which help a lot, actually. And the teas. And when the teas inevitably run out, a Sinclair will pop up at his door offering more, along with a mostly believable excuse.
Now Phil is asking for him and Robin to come with him to get new frames for his glasses and " why not get our eyes checked while we're there" leading to Steve walking out of the boiling with a new pair of glasses settled on his nose a week later and another check up in three months.
He can see things better now, but Eddie still ends up offering to read to him, insisting " if I read it, you'll get the full experience, different voices and all guaranteed"
Claudia suddenly needs a buddy for her drives to the hospital, arguing that "oh, you're not that busy at 6 AM, honey." Which leaves Steve to do nothing between the arrival and the beginning Eddie and Max's PT check ups that happen a few times a week, which are at noon. So, he schedules appointments to see his doctors.
He eventually gets a prescription that helps regulate his movements and a strong pain medication to help his migraines along with what Mrs. Sinclair gave him.
Hopper starts coming over before his patrols and always asking if he's " busy at all today? Do you have a ride, and to where? Are you working today?" Before having him climb into his patrol car because "two sets of eyes are better than one" even though Steve doesn't technically count as a full set of eyes anymore.
Then Joyce is heading up to Indianapolis for a few errands and "why don't you tag along, Steve? I'm sure you can find something that'll be fun, or interesting while I run around. Give yourself a break from running after the kids for a bit" and he can't say no to her. So, he goes to the audiologist up there and gets fitted for a hearing aid after getting checked, getting told to either come back in a few weeks or have them delivered to his house, up to him.
The kids even started helping him whenever they're around. Doing dishes. Picking up all the bedding and trash from sleepovers. Helping pay for some things.
He still doesn't know how to ask for help, but maybe he doesn't have to yet. He has people who are willing to help him.
He's glad he was ready for help.

В подсобке Кингстонского университета в Лондоне нашли два хорошо сохранившихся микропроцессорных компьютера Q1, которые выпустили в 1972 году. Q1 — достаточно малоизвестный ПК имеющий собственное программное обеспечение, сохранившихся экземпляров очень мало. Компьютер редко экспортировался из США, поэтому обнаружение двух Q1 в столице Великобритании вызвало удивление.  Созданный Q1 Corporation компьютер имеет встроенные оранжевый экран и клавиатуру, как и более поздняя модель — Q1 Lite. ПК способен взаимодействовать с принтерами и жёстким диском, а также обрабатывать текст и управлять вводом данных. Компьютер Q1, впечатляет своими возможностями и компактным размером процессору Intel 8008. Память устройства составляет 16 КБ, а максимальная тактовая частота — 800 кГц. Однако процессор позволяет Q1 претендовать на звание первого в мире настоящего микрокомпьютера — его выпустили на два года раньше более известного MITS Altair 8800. Пионеры в 1970-х и 1980-х годах заложили основу современных компьютеров, которые стали настолько вездесущими в повседневной жизни. На выставке представлены 60 различных знаковых устройств, включая Sinclair ZX81, ZX Spectrum, Sinclair QL, BBC Micro, Acorn Electron, Amstrad, Dragon 32 и другие. Найденные Q1 выставят на аукцион или продадут в частном порядке после завершения бесплатного показа. World's first microcomputer goes on display alongside range of other vintage computers in public exhibition at Kingston University The world’s first true microcomputer – the Q1 – is currently on display at a special public exhibition at Kingston University showcasing the early decades of computing. The exhibition, entitled Creating the Everything Device, features more than 60 computers from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s – all predecessors of today’s modern technology. Two Q1 microcomputers are on show, including the original model which looked like a typewriter with a distinctive orange screen and operated using an Intel 8008 processor. Considered the first true microcomputer, the Q1 was the first to be commercially produced. Manufactured by the Q1 Corporation in the United States in December 1972, only a few Q1s were imported into Britain. It is believed the two on display in the exhibition could be the only surviving models in the country. #q1 #q1corporation #a1istech #tech #news #ретро #старыепк #пк #персональныекомпьютеры

However, over the years, a lot of games were made by enthusiasts. Sinclair QL was not computer for gamers, not because of its harware capabilities, but because of its minimal library of games.

It was not cheap, it had some software bugs initially and because of the production problems, there was not easy to buy one. It was great device for that time, but it was not very successful on the market. Sinclair QL was business/personal computer, developed in 1984 by Sinclair Research Ltd.

Q emulator download
Tumblr media
#Q emulator download how to#
I used the same method, with two differences:
#Q emulator download how to#
There is a web page called 8049 Spy that explains how to connect the 8049 for reading the ROM. Will they contain the same or different code? I also got a second QL 8049 to use in my initial experiments and avoid the risk of ruining the chip in my QL. I bought an Arduino UNO board to connect it to the 8049 and read the ROM. Reading the ROM can be accomplished by using the "ROM Verification Algorithm" described in the MCS-48 datasheet (MCS-48 is the family of microcontrollers that includes the 8049). To compare the speed measured on a real QL to the emulation speed, I need to be sure about what code is running on the IPC, so I decided to dump the contents of the chip and compare them to the version from the internet.ĮPROM programmers have the circuitry necessary to read the 8049 ROM, but I don't know of any programmers that support this chip, probably because it cannot be written to. In order to improve the 'QL Speed' accuracy of Q-emuLator, I plan to better account for the 8049 timings (simulating the interaction between the 68008 andthe ZX8301 ULA will also be necessary, but that's a topic for another day). There are a few copies of the QL IPC code on the internet and they are all the same, apart for a single unused byte toward the end of the ROM. This also means that if you need to replace an IPC chip, you cannot just buy any available 8049: It needs to come from a QL, or it will contain a different, incompatible ROM. Sinclair wrote the code, but it got programmed in the chip by the manufacturer, and there is no way to reprogram it. The code is stored in an internal 2 KB ROM. This can cause a significant slowdown of QL software and the exact timing depends on the code that runs on the IPC. Communication between the 60008 and IPC uses a slow serial link and can only happen when the IPC is in-between activities like scanning the keyboard or producing the next segment of a sound.

Happy Birthday Sir Clive Sinclair!!!
Tumblr media
On July 30, 1940 Sir Clive Marles Sinclair was born in Richmond upon Thames.
He created Sinclair Research, a pioneering English computer company that revolutionized the history of electronics and home-computing in the seventies.
Among his brilliant creations we find the ZX80, ZX81, ZX SPECTRUM, the Sinclair QL, the MK14 and the Sinclair C5 electric tricycle.
In the 90's, after setting aside the computer market, he dedicated himself to his inventions in the field of transportation, creating the Zike bicycle.

Die außergewöhnliche Sinclair QL GUI
Der Sinclair QL war mein erster Computer, der eine Bedienerführung über eine GUI ermöglichte. Mit einer Maus ausgerüstet konnte ich meine ersten Schritte in ein neues Computerzeitalter machen.
Der Sinclair QL war der erste 16 Bit Computer von Sinclair Research. Ein Quantensprung für diese erfolgsverwöhnte Firma. Während alle 16 Bit Konkurrenten auf Maus und graphische Bedienoberfläche (GUI) setzten, war der QL ein konventioneller Tastaturcomputer. Eine kleine innovative Firma und seine Entwickler präsentierten aber ein faszinierendes Konzept für die Bedienung dieses Computers, was auch…

W czerwcu Intel jest pierwszy 16-bitowy procesor - 8086 (4,77 Mhz). W marcu Intel prezentuje 16-bitowy procesor 80286 (6 Mhz). W lipcu Zilog wypuszcza 8-bitowy procesor Z80 (2,5 MHz). W lutym Sinclair Research przedstawia komputer ZX80, wykorzystujący 8-bitowy procesor NEC 3,25 Mhz oraz będący 1 Mb RAM oraz 4KB ROM. W czerwcu Seagate Technologies prezentuje dysk Winchester 5,25 cala. We wrześniu Motorola przedstawia procesor 68000, który pozostawiał się z 68 tys. 1960 - Powstaje język programowania Algol 60. W listopadzie firma DEC(Digital Equipment Corporation) przedstawia PDP-1, pierwszy komputer urządzony w monitor i klawiaturę. 1983 - APPLE sprzedaje pierwszy komputer z graficznym interfejsem użytkownika (GUI) APPLE LISA; COMMODORE prezentuje C-64 przeznacony do domowych zastosowań ,specjalnie do gier ze powodu na znacznie delikatną grafikę i dźwięk, arkusz Lotus 1-2-3, edytor MS Word 1.0,(listopad) premiera Windows 1.0. W miesiącu Microsoft przedstawia pierwszą mysz nazwaną "The Microsoft Mouse", kosztuje ona 200 USD. SINCLAIR wypuszcza model QL; ZX SPECTRUM i C-64 przybywa konkurent AMSTRAD CPC-464, drukarka HP LaserJet, karta graficzna EGA, MS/PC-DOS 3.0 Powstaje interface MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) standard człowiek do współpracy danych pomiędzy komputerami oraz akcesoriami muzycznymi.
1965 - Digital Equipment Corporation buduje pierwszy minikomputer, który je 18 000 dolarów. Rozpoczęto seryjne wytwarzanie komputera Odra 1003. Powstaje program Eliza, który wykazuje pewne elementy inteligencji. Program nauczania religii katolickiej oraz podręczniki - jak mówi konkordat - opracowuje władza kościelna i rzuca je do dane kompetentnej władzy państwowej. Żeby skompromitować podręczniki „eksperci” z edukacji seksualnej wyciągnęli wyrwane z kontekstu zdania. Oba podręczniki otrzymały pozytywne oceny i punkty w wykazie MEN. W Londynie otwarto Cyberię, pierwszą kawiarnię, w jakiej oprócz kawy oferowano także dojazd do Internetu. Warto też wspomnieć o pozostałościach muzułmańskich mizarów w zachodniej części Bałkanów, nagrobne napisy myślą na sycylijskie pochodzenie ludności tam pogrzebanej. Cóż, istniał toż oczywisty błąd, który spowodował po latach powstanie problemu roku 2000. Firma Rand przedstawiła dla ARPA projekt zdecentralizowania sieci komputerowych. 2000 - układ AMD K6-III; następny etap w chodzeniu do wielkiej skuteczności to INTEL PENTIUM III i AMD ATHLON. Od 2000 r. Przechodzi w pozycjach Zarządu tego Oddziału.
Rozporządzenia nie przewidują takich adnotacji. „Solidarność” szybko zyskała zwolenników, i jej praca tworzyła w Polakach entuzjazm i radość - organizacja odwoływała się do takich zalet jak: wolność, sprawiedliwość, dobro publiczne i pracę człowieka. Temat: Wartości funkcji liczbowej. https://kartkowkiklasowki.pl/artykul/1942/sprawdzian-europa-i-nowy-swiat : Działanie ze skażoną żywnością i wodą. Burzliwy rozwój techniki komputerowej sprawił, że komputer, który posiada w duży sposób „przerabiać” wielkie ilości informacji, stał się urządzeniem powszechnego użytku. Technika komputerowa daje artystą nieograniczone możliwości przetwarzania obrazu i dźwięku, dzięki czemu powstaje sztuka nowej jakości. Dzięki nim pracownicy sekretariatu mogą robić wielką ilość informacji o każdych uczniach, a jeszcze odnajdywać potrzebne dane. Dzięki jego słyszeniu pokazałeś się schematów budowania niemieckich zdań bez zwracania się na zasadach gramatyki niemieckiej. Euzebiusz z Cezarei z łezką w oku wspomina przyjęcie: “Istniał toż bez wątpienia obraz Królestwa Jezusa Chrystusa i wydawało się nam, że śnimy”. Dzisiaj trudno wyobrazić sobie bez komputerów funkcjonowanie biur, maszyny i urzędów. Xerox wytacza sprawę Apple'owi o kradzież projektu graficznego interfejsu dla komputerów Lisa i Macintosh. Język Smalltalk opracowany gości w Xerox PARC? Charles Simonyi z Xexoc PARC pisze pierwszą aplikację WYSIWYG, która wspomina się Bravo.
Tumblr media
Grace Murray Hopper i Charles Phillips tworzą COBOL. Clarion i Microsoft prezentują Auto PC. Microsoft prezentuje system Windows 95. Pixar Animation Studios i Disney prezentują wytworzony przez komputer pełnoekranowy film - "Toy Story". 1977 - W kwietniu Commodore Business Machines prezentuje komputer PET 2001 z procesorem 6502, 4KB RAM, 14KB ROM, klawiatura, monitorem i magnetofonem. Steve Jobs prezentuje NeXT. Steve Wozniak buduje "blue box" - generator częstotliwości 2600 hz, który oszukuje miejskie aparaty telefoniczne. Znacznie się weselę w Panu, dusza moja cieszy się w Bogu moim, bo mnie założyłem w szaty zbawienia, okrył mnie płaszczem sprawiedliwości, jak oblubieńca, który składa zawój, jak oblubienicę drogą w domowe klejnoty. Ogromną rolę gra także język grzecznościowy - keigo - który wymaga na głowie prowadzącej wybieranie odpowiedniej formy zwrotu do odbiorcy spośród kilkudziesięciu różnych zaimków i innych form grzecznościowych. A najgorsze, że również ich ”publiczności” - wam, moi drodzy. Więcej w grze komputer zadomowił się na skuteczne. 1968 - Po raz pierwszy komputer (HAL 9000) bierze start w filmie. Komputery oraz sterowane poprzez nie maszyny, nazywane robotami, biorą wkład w pracy np. samochodów. Wayne Ratliff pisze dBase II, pierwszą grupę podstawy informacji na komputery PC. American Standard Association decyduje, że kod ASCII będzie standardem transferu danych.

Quote
“I was working at creating alternate monorail layouts for the 6921 Monorail Accessory Track set. It was pretty tedious trying out many different combinations, so I made a piece of software for the Sinclair QL computer which enabled me to ‘build’ a lot of tracks on a screen instead of building on the floor.”
Bjarne Tveskov in an interview with David Alexander Smith for Bricks Culture, republished on Building Debates.
