Blinking lights!

Oh, forgot to mention here. We now have both Aesthedes computers working! Which means, we have 40% of the world's remaining Aesthedes computers and 100% of all remaining working Aesthedes computers. And yes, that's the Coca Cola logo on the left one.

Big news! The second Aesthedes is working and the first one is now fully working! The Aesthedes, the first commercial available CAD-computer, from 1985, is now fully operational. 3 of the 6 screens are broken (but fixable, but the system boots and responds as should be. We're absolutely thrilled that we managed to get this one up and made the older one now function a full 100% as it was back in the day. #Museum #HomeComputerMuseum #Aesthedes

We have received this unknown Philips PC/Home computer. It looks like a Philips P2000, but it isn't. Chips from 1979, and it uses a Z80 CPU. Unfortunately, something on the board started to smoke while testing 😕. So, we don't know (yet) what it says on boot. This could be an unknown prototype of a P2000? Does anyone know? The counter on the internal power supply makes it feel like a prototype. You can not see this from outside.

From our warehouse, the Headstart Explorer... I did want to show you more, but the RIFA capacitor decided to blow so I powered it down. It still works, but to be sure we're going to replace it and see if we can fix the harddisk. Did you use the Explorer back in the day? Share your memories of this machine.

With 29 hours to go, Kickstarter has decided that we are a 'Project We Love'. We ask you to support us. With unique rewards such as lifetime access to the world's largest interactive computer museum or an exclusive tour by our CEO. The tour can be conducted both on-site and at home via webcam, in English or Dutch. Help us reach the goal, help us become the museum the IT world needs. Help us preserve and make this beautiful history available for the future. The link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/homecomputermuseum/homecomputermuseum-40/
