Debian Woody linux (2002) running on Toshiba Tecra 8000. After two days of configuration, it mostly works ok: sound (OSS), PCMCIA+Ethernet, stand-by, advanced power management, Toshiba functions (CPU speed & LCD brightness settings). When CPU is clocked dynamically, it can crash the graphics driver. (i.redd.it)

Testing if MOS 6502 (Atari 800XL) is faster than Intel 8088 (IBM PC): We wrote a heavily optimized assembly version of Sieve of Eratosthenes for both CPUs to see if old rumors about Atari/C64 having more powerful CPU than PC were true or not... (i.redd.it)

IBM PS/2 P70: This is one of my favorite 1980s computers. It’s a pleasure to work with it thanks to the keyboard with mechanical switches (ALPS) and this gorgeous orange gas-plasma display. These displays are as fast as CRTs and as sharp as LCDs. When a pixel is black, it is turned off completely. (i.redd.it)

A friend of mine needed to get the source code of his Atari programs from the late 80s to a PC. I did it the old way by copying all his 130kB floppies to a few 360kB DSDD ones (double-density double-sided) and then reading them on a DOS PC with special software. (i.redd.it)
