How Many Phones Sport A 5 And 1/4 Diskette Drive? This One.

"It all started with a sarcastic comment right here on Hackaday.com: ” How many phones do you know that sport a 5 and 1/4 inch diskette drive?” — and [Paul Sanjay] took that personally, or at least thought “Challenge accepted” because he immediately hooked an old Commodore floppy drive to his somewhat-less-old smartphone."

A Toronto la Micro Computer Machines presenta l’MCM/70, tra i primi personal computer, ideato dal professore Mers Kutt con Intel. Uscito nel 1974, fu adottato da Nasa, Chevron e dall’esercito USA, ma la mancanza di fondi ne decretò il declino di fronte a Commodore PET e Apple II. Nel 2011 il libro di Zbigniew Stachniak ne ha riportato alla luce la storia.

La RCA esce dal mercato dei computer dopo perdite per 490 milioni di dollari, chiudendo la divisione RCA-CSD. Faceva parte dei “Sette Nani” (Honeywell, Univac, Burroughs, NCR, GE e CDC) che tentarono invano di sfidare IBM. Lo Spectra 70/45, rivale del System/360, non riuscì a garantire piena compatibilità software. IBM restò dominante e i Nani sparirono dal mainframe.

I think the same thing that just happened with #Commodore should also happen with #NeXT. A representative of "the community" should acquire all rights to NeXT and revive the company. 😃

Al MIT viene installato il primo banco di memoria a nuclei magnetici nel progetto Whirlwind di Jay Forrester.

Usava anelli di ferrite per memorizzare dati come bit, con accesso rapido. Sostituì le memorie a tubo catodico, migliorando velocità e affidabilità.

Fu un passo fondamentale nell’informatica, aprendo la strada a memorie più efficienti e progetti come il sistema di difesa SAGE.

Radio Shack annuncia il TRS-80, suo primo personal computer con 4KB di RAM, lettore/scrittore su audiocassette e BASIC integrato.

Insieme a Commodore PET e Apple II, è tra i primi PC di massa, pensati per il grande pubblico e non solo per gli appassionati di kit da assemblare.

Trova ampio successo anche nelle scuole.
