Ric Werme stopped by to get the Stanford NULL job running once again. What a curious piece of simple code that only can be observed on a KA or KI PDP-10.

🏥 Snapshot Saturday! A glimpse into healthcare technology in 1987! Long before tablets and electronic health records became commonplace, nurses were already using computers to access patient information. 🖥️ Look at that massive CRT monitor! #TechHistory #VintageComputer
**SNAPSHOT SATURDAY** **Nurses accessing medical information in 1987** **Visual Description:** The infographic features a color photograph from 1987 showing nurses working at a hospital nurses' station. In the foreground, a nurse wearing a purple shirt, white apron, and stethoscope sits at a beige desktop computer with a large CRT monitor and keyboard. She reaches toward the computer while another nurse, wearing a blue-and-white striped blouse and white skirt, stands beside her observing. In the background, additional nurses work at desks and counters. One nurse sits at a desk on the left, while others stand near filing cabinets and a large patient room assignment board on the right. The photograph captures an early example of computerized information access in a healthcare setting, with bulky computer equipment, paper records, and traditional nurses' station furnishings. The image is framed by a brown filmstrip design with rectangular sprocket holes along the top and bottom. A warm sepia-toned photographic background surrounds the filmstrip. At the top, "SNAPSHOT SATURDAY" appears in large white serif lettering against a translucent brown banner. The caption "Nurses accessing medical information in 1987" appears above the photograph. The website "vintage.computer" appears at the bottom right. **Image Credit:** Bill Branson, National Cancer Institute, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nurses_in_a_nurses%27_station,_USA_1987.jpg

📸 Snapshot Saturday: An operator at an IBM System/370 console, circa 1972. Before terminals fit on a desk, interacting with a mainframe meant sitting at a console surrounded by cabinets, switches, printers, and enough hardware to fill a room. #VintageComputer
Snapshot Saturday — “Operator at an IBM System 370 console, circa September 1972.” A black-and-white photograph shows a bearded computer operator seated at the console of an IBM System/370 mainframe. He is surrounded by large computer cabinets, control panels, storage equipment, paperwork, and other hardware in a raised-floor computer room.

💾 Throwback Thursday: Remember keeping a boot disk handy? When your PC wouldn’t start, a floppy loaded just enough of an operating system to get you running, troubleshoot the problem, or launch an installer. One little disk could save the day. #VintageComputer
Throwback Thursday — Boot Disks or “Startup Floppies.” “Before large storage media was common, computers relied on ‘boot disks’ or ‘startup floppies.’ They were small programs that the computer could load easily off a floppy disk, which would then load the larger programs of the operating system or other software.” The graphic shows a fan of black 3.5-inch floppy disks. The front disk is labeled Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, Diskette 1 - Setup, Windows 3.11. The image has a tan desert-style background with vintage.computer branding at the bottom.

The PDP-7 uses a destructive read restore cycle which has caused bits to flip in the core. Writing small diagnostics on the front panel is a fun way to zero in on faults while crawling the backplane. #vintagecomputer #boeing #pdp7 #unix #vintagecomputing

🇸🇪 Tech Spec Tuesday: Meet the Luxor ABC 80! Launched in Sweden in 1978, this Z80-powered microcomputer became a familiar sight in Scandinavian schools and offices. Its fast BASIC interpreter and modular design made it remarkably capable. #VintageComputer
Tech Spec Tuesday — Luxor ABC 80. The Luxor ABC 80 (Advanced BASIC Computer 80) was created by Swedish companies in 1978 around the Zilog Z80 processor. Its fast BASIC interpreter helped make it popular in schools and offices, while its modular architecture supported expansion through a CPU bus and peripheral cards. Specifications shown: Zilog Z80 at 3 MHz; 16–32 KB RAM; cassette tape storage; 78 × 72 monochrome display; expandable via cards and serial port. The image shows an ABC 80 computer with beige keyboard, CRT monitor, and cassette unit against a blue panel over a background of electronic schematics, with vintage.computer branding.

🛠️ Maintenance Mode: Code isn’t just written for computers—it’s written for the people who will read, debug, modify, and maintain it later. Martin Fowler’s reminder is timeless: readability is a feature. #Programming #VintageComputer
Maintenance Mode. Quote by Martin Fowler: “Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.” The quote appears in yellow text on a translucent green panel over a photograph of a lush forest with sunlight filtering through the trees.

I got my DEC Rainbow 100 running and after a restoration on the unique RX50 dual disk drive. Happy to see my VR201 monitor was fine. I made some floppies and booted up MS-DOS 2.05 and CP/M-86. Here it is booting up MS-DOS. An interesting computer for it's time. #retrocomputing #vintagecomputer

📸 Snapshot Saturday: A Varian Data Machines installation circa 1984, complete with 9-track tape drives. Rooms like this were once the backbone of scientific, industrial, and business computing—and made “data storage” a very physical thing. #VintageComputer
Snapshot Saturday — “Varian Data Machines with 9 track tape drives, circa 1984.” The photograph shows a computer room lined with large Varian Data Machines equipment cabinets and multiple 9-track magnetic tape drives. Tall cabinets occupy much of the room, with windows and additional equipment visible behind them. Photo credit: J R Spigot, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons.
