2014-01-08 I also found the classic PC. [長年日記]

At the end of last year, I went back country home.

On outward, I drove on the highway, and on homeward, whole family went back home.

It is sleepy to drive alone isn't it?

So, I had been hearing "Steins;Gate" during driving on highway.

I had installed the contents of animation "Steins;Gate" in my note PC, and heard only voice by a earphone.

It was fun.

All scenes of "Steins;Gate" are in my brain, so only the voice is enough.

In "Steins;Gate", the classic PC "IBN5100" appears. That was a metaphor of the real PC that was made by IBM Co. in 1965.

This PC works as a message translation system, and it enables the persons in the animation to hack the fictional research organization in EU.

-----

This time, I cleaned the storage of country house, and I also found the classic PC.

It is "PC-8001MK2" that was made by NEC Co. in 1983.

At that time, the loading and saving of programs were done by the modem sound, with using a cassette tape recorder.

It had 8bits CPU and 64KB memory only (Attention of the unit). The OS was called "DISK-BASIC" that supported only Basic language.

I didn't understand the concept of OS at all. So entering a company, I was ashamed to my ignorance for a long time.

-----

I wanted to dispose of the PC, but unfortunately I have no way to do it because of the year’s end holiday.

By any chance, I am going to present this PC if you want.

You could hack the research organization to study "Time Machine" in Japan using this classic PC.
