The National Museum Of Computing Visit 11
I stayed overnight in Bletchley, so I could get to work early, but I didn’t realise that I would be able to get in this early. I started at 7.41am and got absolutely loads done. I got all of the sounds I need out of the Sord M5, BBC Micro, Amstrad CPC 464, and The Atari 800XL. I had a good hour with the Elliot 803 before the museum opened. Recorded loads of calculators grinding, clinking and crunching.
Just as I was leaving I discovered three “new” computers in an area I hadn’t really looked around before, An MSX-HX10, Texas Instruments TI-99/4A and an Acorn Atom. Sadly the MSX had some crazy plug on it but luckily Tony Fraser was able to rewire it for me. 4pm time to go home but glad as I got absolutely loads done.
Soon I shall start work on the 16-bit machines like the Atari ST and the Amiga 500.
