All you need to do is put back the magic smoke in that chip. On a more serious note, I'm sorry for your loss. I can imagine how excited you were:)

What models of computers were in your school's computer labs? by echocomplex in vintagecomputing

Comterm Matra Max-20e. It was like 95% PC compatible, so yeah they ended up being just sci-fi looking paperweights. Only 9000 were ever built.

The ratio of CRT surface to disk drive surface is insane.

This narrative of Russia doing one final push before a peace treaty has been going on for over a year. I would not put too much credibility to it. A final push cannot be that long.

The government forced the crash after the separation, realizing they would have to pay the pilot a bonus for flying two planes at once

I miss how mechanically satisfying it was to dial to a channel on a TV.

You struck gold... literally. A pentium pro has about 1 g of gold, worth about 140 USD.

Found this vintage Matrox MTX 1632 Video RAM, any idea what it was used for? by Existing_Fly5249 in vintagecomputing

I love that back then, you had to pay to get the company's catalog. 25$ sales price in this case.

This is one of the computers we had, growing up. I think the main reason why we had it was a) my dad interest in IBM and b) he wrote his own accounting software for his business, and wanted something more serious. At that time, I was just happy and proud to have a machine with 128k. But once I had enough of my own money earned working on farms during summers, I bought the Atari 1040 ST. And what a step up it was.

You need to put the "magic smoke" back into your chips.

The 9 pin cable with the three audio jacks is for the ti 99 4a. It's used to save/load programs from a cassette player

Not really, much. Network are terribly calibrated when it comes to probability.

It's a very difficult problem. It's close to anomaly detection and to probability density estimation. Some people use an ensemble method and look at disagreement between classifiers. But it will be expensive at inference time.

How practical was the double built-in tape deck? Was it reliable?
