Star Private Computer Museum Offers Glimpse Into the Past
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 24th Nov 2008 14:55 UTC, submitted by Ward D
Hardware, Embedded Systems The private computer museum of Max Burnet has every bit of computing nostalgia imaginable, ranging from the first UNIX PDP-7, a classic DEC PDP-8, the original IBM PC, a string of old Apple's including the Apple Lisa, a Spectrum Sinclair (doh!) ZX81, Bill Gates' personal favorite the MITS Altair 8800, a DEC VT100 terminal, and a range of IBM mainframe consoles from the 1960s and 1970s. If you have never seen what this old stuff looks like, this slideshow offers a snapshot of the past. And if you thought PCs became fashionable with the Apple iMac, then you haven't seen the lime green or powder blue consoles of some of DEC's machines from the 1970s.

Anyone remembers 20 MB Bernoulli disks?

I don't "remember" them, but I did come across an Iomega Bernoulli dual drive - the thing weighs about 30 lbs. ;)
