photos of computer setups
I have started collecting photos of "8-bit" computer set ups. I think it is fascinating to see the places where all kinds of computer magic happens/happened. I am mostly interested in home settings - rooms from any time and any place. Demoscene relation is good but not necessary, hi-res photos are preferred (with credits), informative texts and and stories is excellent.
Possibly, this is something that would be published aswell.
With a collection like this it is possible to see what was behind all those screen, to contextualize digital works with a physical place. Postdigital, as the theorists say. We wanna see your data office!
Spread the word! If you are interested, or just have some links and input, please post here or e-mail info@goto80.com. Or bring them to LCP! :) Thanks! |

The Roland MC-4, Lexicon PCM70, Lexicon LXP1 are all computer-controlled with 8-bit Z80's or Z80 clone CPU's :P I'm sure the TR808 and TR606 are too, they contain uPD650C CPU's, whatever they are. |

@clonK: Nice mixture of awesome gadgets and organised chaos - my way to go :) My fav bleep-hatchery picture of this bunch so far.
Is that a DD6 on the top of the right speaker? |

hehe. cheers.
It's a Boss DD5.
I also use an Accutronics spring reverb tank which I use as a send effect and back into a mic channel (cos it really should have an amp stage).
I decided not to put up a picture of my racked gear 'cos it would be veering off the subject of this thread a bit :P |

@clonK
the Beast and I will find out where you live, break into your house and steal your gear.
And if you try to stop us we will kill you... seriously.
:))
If that is a genuine KORG msxx and not the Legacy controller then I must say you have quite a collection.

I hear you. How much I love to see other peoples set-ups I must admit you are right.
So I scanned some old photos and as soon as I find a place to put them they will show up here.

Look at this puny setup in the corner.
Not at all the space it deserves, but rest of the room is occupied by gear already. XD

Yeah, 80% of the setups posted here were really gay. Most disappointing! (Perhaps contrary to what people might expect, Ed's setup specifically is included in the non-gay ones too. I think he should throw away the telephone though. :)

I recently updated my work setup with a more reliable heavy duty power supply:
it powers both the C64 and the 1541-II. Green led is 5V, red led is 12V. It's a switching PSU. |
