Now the rare Motorola #MC6809 in the #Thomson #TO7-70 has found a worthy place next to its successor in Atari. The light pen works on a tube TV without any problems. However, the accuracy is like 'oh, I hit the left top of the screen' :) At the time, however, it was quite a unique selling point of this computer.

It was a quick evening to get the floppy drive of the #Thomson #TO7-70 working. When I opened the case, I immediately noticed that the floppy cable had come loose from the drive and was hanging around. I plugged it in and did a quick test; no more "NO DISK" errors. :) I also took the opportunity to do some cleaning, add a missing foot, format a C64 floppy disk with DSKINI0, and save a BASIC test program. Everything's working great, and it's ready for the exhibition. But first, I'll take a look at the cartridge with the 6809 assembler.

The Allard Pierson UvA also has a computer collection.

More gems from my visit last Tuesday. Btw. most of the machines are ready to run or run (like that #apple2). #retrocomputing #datarena #computermuseum

A short idea of ​​mine. Based on the serial number of our #KneisnerM100, I'd guess it was manufactured in October 1978. It starts with 7810 and a following 01 at the end. I don't think they manufactured and sold 1001 of them in 1978. Would you agree?

Let's add a little color to this dreary sky. Amiga 500 in the limited #StefanieTücking (R.I.P.) tiger design. The other case had the typical Boeing balls from the graphics demo as pattern.
I'm currently looking through my pictures and noticed that it works just as well with #DarkTable in Linux as it does with #LightRoom in Windows.

Bloop has over 1600 software items and 150+ hardware items from Japan, and we show them to visitors on every tour. We're very interested in showing off more, and not just from Japan! Let us know if you can help in any way - we want to represent your region!

The #KneisnerM100 has finally arrived in its natural habitat. Even though it takes up quite a bit of space, it's found a nice spot next to its successful Z80 successors from England. It also survived transport in the car well and is now booting its #TurboDOS smoothly.

This morning, I'd like to treat your eyes to a particularly rare specimen of the computer history. A #Yodobashi #Formula1, distributed in Germany by the company Schoppe&Faeser located in Minden. It was used as a "mobile" programming station for the company's early control systems. And btw, it's fully functional right now.

Both cases of the #KneisnerM100 are fully closed and #TurboDOS system is running fine from HDD. Also I adjusted the monitor view sizes inside the the #TeleVideo VTI-912C terminal.

Finish and mission accomplished

One of the most repair-friendly computers of the 80s. Our #Sharp #MZ80K in the museum. But ultimately, it was also one of the dumbest computers ever launched.

I wrote a longer article containing the successful repairing story of our #KneiserM100. Beware, it's a litte *tltr*.

Here is an automatic google translation of it:

Today I have two colleagues visiting, and I'm going to take them on a tour of our #ComputerMuseum. I'd say that one of them has traveled the furthest of all the guests so far. I'm curious to see if they'll leave with their minds as full as most of the other guests.

What a beauty the #KneisnerM100 has become. My daily work would be called "case modding" nowadays ;) It literally appears in a completely different light now ;) Tomorrow I'll be working on the expansion box, so after a year and a half, I can tick off this exciting project.
If any of you are coming to the HNF in Paderborn in October: The current plan is to bring it to the RCT at 11th & 12th of October 2025.

"despite a seeming abundance of local billionaires in the Seattle area that owe their fortunes to the very machines in this museum, none of them were sufficiently compelled to become the patron"

This is the first exklusive preview to the new housing of the #KneisnerM100. A German relabeled #Imsai8080.
Last steps to do is to mount all components properly and some electrical wiring for fan aso.
