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! |

I'd love such a site!
...and I think I've got a few photos of my data setups throughout the years. It would be nice to collect all setups for a given person on one page, if you'll do a site... |

i wasn't aware of this site, some good ones in there! my plan is to make something similar, but not only focusing on the computer itself. i think it is great to see all the things around the computer, in a private space. party-pics is not so relevant for this kind of mission.
share your rooms! |

Old setup (early 2006), before it got cluttered with collected hardware and before I sold some of the stuff in the rack.
Please note the Commodore monitor on the floor ;-)
I was busy doing design work for a study, so the desk had to be empty. Currently there's a C128 set up.

Here are two incarnations of my setup in my previous apartment:
From 2007, an SX64, an Amiga 2000 and a PC.
Same corner, but in 2008. Now there is a breadbin C64 standing on top of an Amiga 500, and and some other PC (and myself contemplating some code):
I have a bunch of photos from earlier datacorners too, and I'll try to dig them out. |

I have offered Goto80 to provide the php/html/whatever framework for such a site btw.. datacorners.com would be nice.. :)
Location: Lund, Sweden, yes...
Trivia about my second picture: Putting the bread bin c64 (not as big in the axis away from your body as the newer c64's) on top of an A500 is a solution I have found to be able to have a C64 at the very same table space as an Amiga 500. It is also possible to put 1541-disk drives on top of the A500 hard drive interface. Then I have a scart cable switch in front of the TV, so I can easily choose which computer that should be displayed on the screen. This is a solution that I still use (mid 2009) in my current room.
Regarding the big TV used on the second picture: Where I lived at that time, there was a garbage room where people threw away TV's every now and then (I guess people are going for flat screen TV's in these days). I tried out something like 10-15 TV's in order to find a big one with a really sharp image for the C64/A500 and settled for the one visible on this picture, which I still use, and which is great. Another good feature of this TV is that it is completely flat at the top, so you can put more things there. The other 10 or so TV sets were dumped in Goto80's one room apartment one day. As far as I know, they are still there. :) |

That first picture is Barendrecht, The Netherlands.
It later turned into this (probably November 2006), with curtains installed:
And here's another one, with a few discdrives, taken in June 2007:
And an old one in my former house, in Rotterdam (NL), taken in October 2005.

(Spot the SX-64 on that last one ;-) ) |

...but you forgot to say where and/or when these pictures came from, and in line with what mr Goto80 said before, it would be nice with a small comment on the setup itself. Why it looked like it did, or so.
...and that pool looked lame. I would surely have stayed inside instead. ;)
...and speaking of parents' houses. Here comes a picture of Goto80 as a kid, in his parents' house in Varberg, Sweden, including mr Goto80 himself:

Hehe.. That one was quite boring, to be honest. :)
I think (but I am not completely sure) that Goto80 is mainly looking for datacorners which include one or a few homecomputers and such (okay okay, there was the 1514 of course in this picture, but but...)
@Goto80: ...or what do you say? Maybe you are not as narrow-minded as me? ;) |

Yes, this just the reserve-computer. It is quite boring there.
I shall take a picture on the other computer too.
There I have the amplifier and speakers.
The speakers pointing directly to my head :)
Photo coming soon.

Cool thread! Here are pictures of my current (2008-) setups.
The SX-64 with the 1541U next to my PC. Mainly used for disk transfers as well as checking my WIP on the real thing using a custom made (i.e. idiot proof) tool that GRG was kind enough to code for me. The 1541 is a leftover from my cable transfering days.
-
On the outside: boring IKEA closet. On the inside: 8-bit heaven! This is a relationship-friendly solution to my soft-/hardware addiction. Our apartment is quite small, so I try to limit my collection to the closet. Due to family expansion, however, we need to move house. Secretly I see this as an opportunity to install another closet. ;)

Left: My current set up. Right: In the same room, the rest of the set up. I have other hardware, but the hard is not set up at the present time.
Have to admit, these days, the Commodore 64 is used more like a VCR, a device to watch something on, for that authentic experience. My Commodore 64 is quite unstable, and prone to crashing, so the idea of creating graphics on it, is too risky. |

@Frantic and Goto 80
Very well. Here goes again...
First picture. All our stuff together in our parents house.
- AMIGA 2000 with some external drive stuff.
- Amigis sound sampler for AMIGA.
- heavily modded c64 (not visible on the far left on a table perpendicular to this set-up)
- 1541 and 1571 diskdrives
- Teletron 1200 modem
- Commodore 1084 s Monitor with c64 and AMIGA connected.
- cheap 8 channel mixer bought in sale
- quite expensive Sony headphones
- KORG M1 synthesizer
- AKAI S1000 sound sampler
- KORG Wavestation AD synthesizer
- TEAC 2x 10 channel graphic equaliser
- cheap TANDY output power meter
- Luxman c303 pre-amplifier and m303 Power Amplifier
- AKAI integrated Amplifier used only as pre-amp for switching sources from and to samplers and power output
- JVC DAT recorder
- SONY DAT recorder
- 2x AKAI compact-cassette decks
- Philips Matchline video recorder. (which we actually used for audiophile recordings before we had DAT)
- Philips CD630 CD player.
- Technics SL 1210 mk II turntable
- not visible on this picture: a pair of TDL Electronics Super Compact studio monitors
The idea behind this set-up is the Beast his obsession with being able to use everything at anytime in any combination possible. So basically it was a nightmare of cables and switches of he was the only one who knew how to work it.
Later when we both left our parental house we split up the stuff and the second picture shows the Beast his studio as it was last year.
Basically on the right side it shows all the retro-stuff. (Amiga 500 and a 1500 his old '64 died by then and I gave him a c64c)
Also worth mentioning is the ancient ARP Odyssee analog synth sitting on top.
On the far left side (not visible behind the Beast) is all the amp and recording stuff. Looking right from there is still the AMIGA 2000 and a PC.
In the 19' rack in the middle are the S1000 sampler, the KORG Wavestation, a ROLAND m240 line-mixer and a completely useless fully MIDI-controllable Parametric EQ.
But again it is all build-up with the idea that everything has to be available at anytime in all combinations.
Somehow I don't have any OK pictures of my set-ups online. (mainly because somehow I never take photos of anything. and certainly not before digital cameras :)
Nowadays we mostly use REASON. But the Beast and I agree that the soundquality of a decent instrument-mixer-recordingmedia combination sounds infinitely better and is a lot more fun than any workstation suite on PC.
But the Beast completely redid the attic so everything has been moved and changed again and will take some time to finish...
I hope this satisfies your curiosity a bit.
If you want to know any more, just ask me.

To the left I have my main system which is always hooked up.
C64 with MMC64, Oceanic drive and a 1084 monitor.
Then to the right I have a 14" TV with a SCART switch to which I can hook up other systems. At the moment:
* Commodore Plus/4 with 1541-II drive
* Atari 130XE with SIO2PC USB interface
* Sinclair ZX81 with 16kB expansion
This "oldschool" table is in my bedroom, then I have the modern stuff (three PCs etc.) in the living room... |

Man, don't trust too much on that wallmounted foam considering reducing beating noise leek, though :)
I can't see the construction of yoou room, but unless it has super-thick walls, 'room in the room' structure or multilayer sound sealing windows - the shitfoam will probably just make all of that fight stuff sounding pretty nice, reflexion-free, balanced with pleasant treble frequencies INSIDE the room I assume. Probably, noise will bleed much outside ;)
With distant neighbours, that can't be an issue at all :D |

I wish I could offer a photo of my old days... I had my own table in the living room, a c64-II and a 1541-II in front of a *gigantic* Grundig CRT TV (with faulty colours and moire-ing like crazy, but still, as a 12-year-old there was no complaining). Next to it, neatly stacked: 64'er magazines, complete collection from 07/88 to (eventually) 05/94; c64 game boxes, all sorts; demo/utility disks I mail ordered from Binary Zone and other sources. And of course, a pair of unbeatable Competition Pros.
Those were the times... unfortunately, the only photo left of that setup is a very blurry shot where you can barely make out the Grundig and nothing of the rest :). My parents were mainly interested in me, staring at the TV like a zombie while watching (and listening to) the Turbo Outrun intro.
It's all a bit more streamlined nowadays, and my gaming rigs setup next to the ole' mainframe'n'laptop ain't lying...

So, you choose the bear.

You notice that the girl calls you "bear" while monitoring most of your actions and wants a child.
You have no choice.

That is so typical. The thread starts nice and interesting like this:
-"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."-
And about 80 posts later it ends like this:
-"No such thing as too much porn. ;) "-
Internet is truly rotten...

here is my currently used setup at my work place:
http://fotoalbum.virgilio.it/alice/danieleredivo/enginesimulato..
Features:
- 1 output card: from C64 to other cards. provides opto isolation of address and data bus
- 1 input card: from other cards to C64. provides opto isolation of address and data bus
- 3 x 4-20mA signal generator (8-bit resolution)
- 16 x digital outputs 0-24 V
- 2 x frequency generators, actually they are programmable timer dividers with 16-bit resolution (kind of timers in CIAs) with 0-15V square wave output
- 4 x 4-20mA signal acquisition (8-bit resolution)
It can be controlled even via basic by reading/writing from/to $DE00....$DE40, but I am working on assembler code that can drive it.
It can be expanded to have up to 64 read addresses and 64 write addresses.
I using MMC REPLAY to transfer the developed sw from PC to the C64. |

This is one of my C64s, MMC64 Replay+RRNET plugged into back (2GB SD), PC64 cable, MSSIAH if needed, a silent(!) IBM Thinkcentre+EMU0404 soundcard to record and serve C64 SID:):), PUPPY Linux, Peavey PV6 mixer, and some instruments that can't be seen (MIDI-KB,Bassguitar+CRATE combo,Guitars+FX-proc)...
(I the background there are two Laney 300W speakers "hiding" and they're driven from Peavey CS800, (JT Robocop III. sounds extraordinary in bass section.)
And last but not least my newly bought AKG K601, with it I can "see" the sounds exactly now...lets me using the power of making sound & equalizer & mixing as I want :)
Goattracker connected to C64 through PC64 cable can be used well also from XP (userport.sys), now I'm happy to use this setup, hearing real C64 SID while composing in GT2..:)

Ok, here's some of my corners in the current form.
First there's living room which is Commodore-free area at the moment. Along with several AV gadgets there's PS2 (Matrix Infinity + 160 Gb HD) and GameCube for gaming. I know, those speakers are complete joke but I haven't managed to save enough money to buy decent audio equipment yet.
This is one part of our so-called workroom, that's the corner where I'm sitting while typing this...
...and this is where the REAL hardware lies. Breadbox is my first one from mid-80's, nowadays equipped with 1541U, 1541, 1581 and custom PSU by Doc of Desire. Amiga is stock A500 with memory expansion, Amstrad CPC6128 is waiting for SymbiFace II IDE interface to use with IDE2CF adapter. Mini laptop is mainly for quick internet visits when wife happens to conquer the desktop PC.
Rest of my Commodore stuff, spares and such, are all lying into this very well organized storage room (known also as Graveyard Of Dead Home Electronics): Heaps of different C64 models, C128, C128D, SX-64, few VIC-20's and C16's, manuals, magazines, disk drives, bag full of datassettes... all along with other not Commodore-related shit like couple of 21" CRT monitors and ~60 kg pile of dead betamax vcr's, to mention some...

I paid a visit to my parents place during holidy, and found a few photos that show at least some fragment of some computer setup. Not that impressive, but I'll scan it anyway the other day. In the meantime, here comes a photo of my current setup, starring Goto80, who was visiting me, and on this picture he is currently creating his compo winner tune from LCP 2009:
.jpg)
As you can see, some things have stabilized in the ways that I tend to put up my datacorners now. If you compare with the last photo in my current post, you'll see that the big TV is the same, and the way I am placing a C64 on top of the A500 (and a 1541-II on top of the A500 Harddrive interface) is also the same as in the previous physical location (to be able to fit two setups at the same place). So.. the configuration survives the physical location, it seems. On the other hand, the desk is also the same, so I guess you could say that it is in fact the same "place"... blah blah blah.
Since the 2008 photo in my previuos post, the PC's have also given way for Mac machines instead. Best move in a long time!
Since this photo was taken, I have also added a nice set of Digidrums (Yamaha DTXPLORER), which is now standing right to the left of this desk. Yahoo! (I also got one of those ZOOM G2 effect boxes veeeery cheap.) Gotta connect those digidrums to C64, through MIDI, some day, and do some C64 drumming. |

here are my setups...
this is my main pc. the c64 is equipped with an ide64, connected via ide serv and a tv capture card.
the notebook (lenovo x60 tablet) beneath the competition pro is the machine i generally prefer for pixelling.
those two pieces are the latest aquirements. at the moment there is only a compact flash in use,
a dvdr- and 1541-2-drive are prepared, but the desk needs to be lifted up previously.
btw the damn awesome lasered glasscube was organized by bugjam.
on the other side of the room is my c128d, equipped with a mmc replay. |

My new setup is actually my very first C64. I had to leave so much stuff behind when moving twice in a couple of years (including once to a different country). But luckily everything was still in perfect working order, just as I left it.
One plane flight later, and now the C64 and the CMD HD are running on dutch power, with a nice little 1541U (w/ case) and a 10" 4:3 s-video capable TFT.

Taken just now with my phone camera (8.1MP but still rubbish quality -.-):
The red cart is a Datel MIDI interface and the other cart is an MMC Replay
C64c has a 1541U (in clear plastic case) with ethernet connected to my PC running Vista64.
Rack of audio processors behind my monitor. It also contains my soundcard.
I have other kit in my room that's not in the pictures, including a 1541, c128 and 2 more c64's.

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 |

it powers both the C64 and the 1541-II. Green led is 5V, red led is 12V. It's a switching PSU. |

Some photos of my current set ups:
This is up in my flat when the SX-64 is situated in between the pc and my wife's Mac. It is running Soundemons New Confusions.
The SX-64 being portable it can easily be hooked up anywhere in the apartment for some late night Antidote calling, like in front of the baby carriage.
The Data Dungeon in the humid basement where the gear is set up or kept (if it is not part of what I have in Skåne awaiting a proper house). I am looking for a second monitor in order to have two set ups running parallely.
I have photos from the data room of my youth (The Mega Swapper's Corner - and Calling Out Centre), and I will try to dig up those photos when I find the time. I should also have some photos of the Data Kitchen from when I lived in Umeå, and from the set ups in Möllevången (x2). |

I could take a pic from my C64 center.... But I won't... I should have done it a couple of years ago, when it was MY room.... My son has taken over MY room, and surprisingly A LOT OF stuff has vanished to cardboard boxes... hmm... must be the wife, who is making goodies to disappear.... But don't worry, whenever the last C64 vanishes, I dig out a new one and put it back there.... So he'll always have a Commodore 64 to play with :)

If you use Ableton, I would recommend it very highly - it's very flexible, and the build quality is good... I really like the extra knobs on the APC 40, but if you mapped some other controls to your plugins, you can probably live without them :) |

ok,ok
I'm still working on it, but here's my latest status on my BASEMENT-MISSION-CONTROL-AND-OPERATION-CENTER (hopefully I can test my pixels on old and new luma VICs now)
so what we have here is:
from left
A4000/40(with GVP Spectrum II), A1200/30 25MHz, C64c+1541II, C64('83 made in England), C=1084, C64 (85 made in Germany)+1541(nice old one), C+4 (my latest precious), C64g
C128d and C128 that I bought from Mace are still in boxes and I cant find them after I moved to this place.
All computer are working fine.
The collection will grow hopefully, but what is urgent now for me are the monitors or TVs so I can run all of them at the same time ;) |

This is what I am allowed to have in the apartment. The rest is in the basement.
A C64G mounted underneath my ordinary workplace. At the moment I have a small LCD (can be seen left of my monitor) to it. My C64G is boosted with a 1541 Ultimate 2 and right now a 1541-II diskdrive. On the floor there's a Datasette used for transferring turbotapes. |

Ok, so four years later... Great to see there's still activity here! I am happy to announce that this project is more alive than ever! The plan is to present a printed version at the music/art festival CLICK in Helsingör/Denmark in May.
So feel free to POST MORE PICTURES AND STORIES and get eternal fame and glory. Some of the pics posted here will definitely be used. I will get in touch with you.
I can't say much more about it right now, so instead I will post a photo of the peak of my datacorner from Masthugget, Göteborg in 2007. A small room of 30 square meters where I lived for about two years. For some reason I especially remember making the soundtrack for the Sharp demo in here.
I didn't have any transfer machinery back then, so me and Jackasser tried to transfer my song-data as audio out from the C64, iirc. In the end it failed so I visited Magervalp at his university office where he had a solid C64-transfer setup. :)
Two laptops, two Commodores, two Casio keyboards, two joysticks, two beers, two mixers, two rolls of tape. All you need! |

Linus you big shite... :) Visit the group channel more please... I heard Calpol is great for drugging up kids... (j/k :) )
On a more serious note, have you used your tablet for any OSC or LEMUR type stuff?
Really interested in that kinda stuff atm... considering acquiring a tablet for that purpose.
Never knew you had an the XP80 either... ;)
Oh well frack it... I will post my current-ish setup from some quite a few months back (years?)... now this is mess. Not even data mess. Just mess... ;)
Notes:
1: I dislike pizza crusts.
2: My cat did not have fleas for any long period. And besides those cat drops are totally pointless. Unless you like the smell of lemon.
3: Underneath the flea drops you can see 2 7" records - Axel F/The heat is on, and Man 2 Man feat Man parrish - Male Stripper... fairly camp no? (good song tho imo ;) )
4: Grinder, protopipe and papers... I have no idea how they got there! Really!
5: Box under desk is the 64hdd machine.
PS: sorry for breaking formatting, which I undoubtably will ;) (Not the first culprit tho, so... ;) ) |

Nice place you got there, Mark! <3
I use the tablet for iOS app dev and playing around with SunVox mostly.
And yeah, I will definitely visit the channel more often now, I promise. Maybe.
On a side note ... I still love you, no worries! |

As you can see the pampers box is filled with some unused computer equipment and the baby bed isn't in use anymore. It's just the corner of a storage room. You may know that kids growingly occupy space (and time) so dads hobbies lose ground. ;) |

Just cleaned up my room a little and made some photos, knowing that the room will look like a mess again in a few days.
My favorite C64 and Atari setups in front of a very old Grundig PAL TV and a very old HiFi system.
My PC setup where all the "magic" (lol) happens, here connected with a ZoomFloppy, sometimes also to C64 via EasyFlash3.
The soldering corner - where I personally do not do much but let more skilled people do all the work.
Pile of hardware like C128D, another old PAL TV, a cartboard box full of Atari equipment which I don't use much atm and should bring in the cellar. |

So the book is out! Get your copy here: http://www.lulu.com/shop/goto80/computer-rooms/paperback/produc..
It features both 8-bit and other computers. Both tidy rooms and total chaos.
Some of the photos are from this thread, but most are not. 36 pages in full colour.
So far it's been a success, and it even received an award by the geek-cool F.A.T. Lab organization (see image).
Greetz!

Not gonna take a photo of my setup quite yet as we are rebuilding downstairs and everything looks like hell right now.
My PC with an external soundcard that I used to have my midi keyboard and C-64 connected to went to hell the other day, but found out I could connect the midi keyboard to my iPad instead. Works like a charm and takes a lot less space. Dunno why I didn't think of that before. |

This is my primary (un-emulated) setup for programming the Commodore 64 while enjoying those lovely chiptunes on the Amiga 1200. Both computers outputs S-Video which looks rather nice on modern TFT monitors. |

I'll add a photo of my setup as well. This is from when I just got installed in our new house. It's a "bit" more messy now after some months of use :D.
My beloved A600 is still missing a monitor unfortunately, while my A1200 was found not worthy a space.
And before someone comment on the VHS, lots of old tapes needs to be digitized. Although it also makes a good 1084 rack.

Exactly one year ago Taper/Triad asked me few questions for Attitude zine about my Commodore collection. One year ago I sold everything, but now I'm recovering my collection - almost from scratch.
I call it: "Project Basement" ;) for my personal use.
take a look at pic below or go to http://retronavigator.com for more photos and details. On the blog I describe the whole project of adopting the basement to be my secret Commodore base ;)
Enjoy.
