http://www.apple-history.com/frames/?

www.apple-history.com has been online since May, 1996. It started as a final project for a Computer Science class. I expected to find a wealth of information on Apple models on the internet, but as I researched, I realized there was no single source for this info. I decided that if I could get a complete listing of Apple models together, then I might as well post it online, so that others wouldn't have to look as hard as I did for such information. The site has grown considerably since it began, and much information has been added. To my knowledge, it is still the most complete list of Apple computers on the internet.

Welcome to the Russian Virtual Computer Museum!

Not by mere occasion has our project emerged almost on the eve of the new millennium. In an instant Cronos will set off the clock of the new age, and our good old 20th century will become history.

When everything is yet near, but already distant enough to see what is great and what small…

When heroes are yet alive, but step by step depart into legend…

When letters, articles, reports, photos have not yet lost the scent of life, but already possess the value of a historical evidence…

It's just the time to stay and take a look backwards.

Computer Museum

The University of Virginia's Computer Museum was conceived and created by Professor Gabriel Robins, who also serves as its curator.

The museum contains various computer-related artifacts, both historical and modern. Most of the artifacts shown here are physically located in display cases in the hallways of the Department of Computer Science (Olsson Hall) at the University of Virginia.

These artifacts came from the personal collections of some of our faculty members, and several other donors, including Professor Sam Cooke of the University of Louisville. To see an enlarged view of any or the artifacts / photos, please click on it.

Enjoy!

MIND MACHINE MUSEUM

Calculators, computers, and video games are all high-tech tools of the mind. Teachers may find students fascinated by early examples and willing to engage in high-tech archaeological "digs" in their local community. These artifacts, combined with their disks and cartridges, may be disassembled and analyzed, restored and displayed or operated as functioning units--an archaeological, technology challenge that gives students a historical perspective about the computer revolution, both its software and hardware.

Traditional antiques are at least 100 years old, but given the rapid, unprecedented changes in microcomputers, game machines, and calculators, any such product that is 10 or more years old might be considered antique. This website is an attempt to create a web museum of many of these amazing artifacts of the twentieth century that I have owned. The following list provides links to illustrations to each model, original prices (when known), and basic specifications.

The Computer Museum at Bletchley Park is the UK's only hands on exhibition of computing hardware and software technology. It traces the development of the computer from its origins with the Colossus, invented during the Second World War to break Lorenz codes through mainframes of the 1960's, mini computers, homebuilt micros to the PC's of today. The vast majority of our exhibits are fully operational and you can come and play with the computers you remember from years ago or discover something new.

THE MACHINE ROOM

Interested in retrocomputing, computer collecting, or computer history? Are you nostalgic and pining for Ye Olden Days? Well, then, welcome to the Machine Room, the ever-expanding database of old computers. Here you'll find technical specifications, descriptions, trivia, and pictures of so-called obsolete computers from a horde of manufacturers, as well as links to more information.

This site pays homage to the wonderful days when 'computer' didn't mean 'IBM PC clone' and 4 kilobytes really made a difference. The Machine Room was conceived in late 1994 and established in 1995 (this is the sixth major revision of the contents, appearance and user interface). It has been a personal project since its inception, and is a free site.

Great Microprocessors of the Past and Present

What's a "Great CPU"?
This list is not intended to be an exhaustive compilation of microprocessors, but rather a description of designs that are either unique (such as the RCA 1802, Acorn ARM, or INMOS Transputer), or representative designs typical of the period (such as the 6502 or 8080, 68000, and R2000). Not necessarily the first of their kind, or the best.

A microprocessor generally means a CPU on a single silicon chip, but exceptions have been made (and are documented) when the CPU includes particularly interesting design ideas, and is generally the result of the microprocessor design philosophy. However, towards the more modern designs, design from other fields overlap, and this criterion becomes rather fuzzy. In addition, parts that used to be separate (FPU, MMU) are now usually considered part of the CPU design.

Another note on terminology - because of the muddling of the term "RISC" by marketroids, I've avoided using those terms here to refer to architectures. And anyway, there are in fact four architecture families, not two. So I use "memory-data" and "load-store" to refer to CISC and RISC architectures. This file is not intended as a reference work, though all attempts (well, many attempts) have been made to ensure its accuracy. It includes material from text books, magazine articles and papers, authoritative descriptions and half remembered folklore from obscure sources (and net.people who I'd like to thank for their many helpful comments). As such, it has no bibliography or list of references.

In other words, "For entertainment use only".

Enjoy, criticize, distribute and quote from this list freely.
