Re: Museum items
I know I'm a youngster, but at least I got my first soldering iron the same year the computer in my hallway was built. It's a 1972 64 kbyte core memory NORD-1. My goal is to have it running before it turns 50. No ROM or anything, but it got boot logic (TTL circuits) to load a paper tape from a Teletype.
At the moment it can only run one instruction but does it well... NOP. All I see is zero in the instruction register and the program counter looping around. I highly suspect that the memory read isn't working. :-D
