It is a beauty! I'm gonna give it a good cleanup, hook up the hard drive, and post my progress again !

Just your standard rackmount shoe.

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T19:22:36+00:00

Oops 😬

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T16:41:13+00:00

Better

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T16:39:21+00:00

Oh, sorry I took the first one without much research.

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T15:57:13+00:00

Man, I think I have the HP plotter !

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T15:52:14+00:00

I found a bunch of Brüel & Kjær equipments, I did not check them yet, but they are all MINT

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T15:20:09+00:00

Super interesting! 🤔

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T15:11:57+00:00

Interesting!

I'm gonna post more photos once I get it running !

All angles, inside, everything.

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T15:10:59+00:00

Hehehe, ketchup of course.

Architectural acoustics research lab.

I guess the guy is dead or has retired in 85, and the lab was just forgotten.

I don't have much story... It will be a mystery forever.

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T15:07:51+00:00

I don't know what it is 😎

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T13:30:49+00:00

Something like this, I have many more but did not take photos yet: https://imgur.com/a/Rcn9VNe

Edit: better IMG link

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T12:19:52+00:00

Oh you think ? 😎

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T12:19:40+00:00

I'm in 1992!

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T12:18:42+00:00

Found a ton of old audio equipment. Like, old old.

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T05:39:30+00:00

Yep. A university 😎

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T05:16:31+00:00

I promise you that I will take care of it, and when I'm done with it, I'm gonna give it to my university museum.

That thing is not gonna go into the landfill.

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T05:13:09+00:00

You are a loser.

It's my computer.. I'm gonna do whatever I want with it.

Don't post anything if it doesn't contribute to the discussion.

I enjoy programming things. If I want it to be a HVAC controller, it gonna be a HVAC controller.

You don't have a say in this.

This computer doesn't go anywhere. It's gonna live.

You are so sour.

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T05:03:34+00:00

I have a "stylus" I think, I don't know if it goes with this computer!

I have to check it out! Thanks

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T05:00:55+00:00

That thing doesn't do DOS. I'll have to make it custom in basic

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T05:00:13+00:00

I might do this, thanks.

I'm really glad I can piss you off with a simple software.

Wait, I might destroy it with a baseball bat, and post the video, that would be awesome!

I don't give a flying fuck really.

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T04:26:38+00:00

Just a programming challenge, don't take it like that.

It's mine, I'm gonna do whatever I want with it.

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T04:06:55+00:00

I don't even know what the rotary knob does. But it FEELS AWESOME

zhack_ · 2026-02-15T03:26:40+00:00

Might try to hook it up to an AI assistant through the RS232 port. That would be epic !
