Title: Huge home-built computer
Post by: Richly on July 09, 2016, 09:50:20 PM

I would love to go and see this

Perhaps he should donate it to the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park so that it can be seen by the public; looks like a home-made version of Colossus, the world's first electronic computer.

He has a state-of-the-art machine... of 1955!

Joking aside, this is very impressive. Dunno how prone things like that are to damage tho. I wonder how programming for this thing work: Rewiring, paper tape, punch cards or did he cheated a bit and made it so you can load programs from an USB or SD cards?
