For the most part, though, it&#8217;s to learn how computers work.  In today&#8217;s world, you just turn on a computer, and it runs.  This was not always the case.  <\/p><div id=\"bryce-1562744244\" class=\"bryce-afterfirst bryce-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8316758073402323\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8316758073402323\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7728240895\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s go back to the early days of computers.  You have to really understand what is happening at the processor level.  To take full advantage of the computer, you need to understand it&#8217;s memory layout.  To load from tape or a disk drive, you have to understand the booting process.  For example, on the Altair 8800, you will need to manually enter a bootloader program from the front panel switches.   Furthermore, you can enter entire programs just by using the front panel switches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, with modern computers, the software is too complex for a single person to fully understand.  There are layers and layers of software.  For example, you have drivers for hardware.  The hardware interfaces with the kernel of the operating system.  You might have another layer that allows the kernel to interface with the operating system.  At this point, the operating system interfaces to the applications, etc.  Even that is a simplified explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Options for Vintage Computing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Real Vintage Hardware<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously one option to start in vintage computing is to buy a vintage computer.  The problem with this is the cost of purchasing and maintaining the equipment.  For example, a Kenbak-1 might cost around $25,000 at the time of this post.  Another problem is they have limited availability.  There are less than two dozen of these left in the world.  The Altair and IMSAI computers currently go for around $5,000.  It might not even be a working unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Software Emulators<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Software Emulators are by far the most inexpensive way to learn.  For the most part, they are free.  I&#8217;ve tried the <a href=\"https:\/\/bryceautomation.com\/index.php\/2021\/12\/31\/z80-pack-with-linux\/\">Z80 Pack,<\/a> and it works very well in Linux.  The Z80 Pack emulates machines such as the Altair and IMSAI.  Cory Whitesell put together an emulator for the Kenbak that you can download <a href=\"https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fvps.wagonfort.ca%2FCCCC%2Fresources%2FCC%2520Kenbak-1%2520Sim.exe%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3F6lqcnFnFctFgoqab3FzhJ6eM0Gk8iMNif_Tw735rF4buCjGIF6Bi6rQ&amp;h=AT0td6L34mAsmGGbZm4_OiAk9i6fHOeQBCMBkz-uK10FZRxcZwVUJRB10lqCsMXDRKHUj4VEj9ET3DVZstFMCcUiMtSnarFmQnJ4F7Pguw8DfBxy8iV1x-IuAQ&amp;__tn__=-UK-R&amp;c[0]=AT3uTsyIg1ttdyBSf3ErMW3NnYlmeHoNT0hQfR0dFvLxJbaOBu5qt6G8azuYepeGwN2mGh_5YPOEFNOVxHQZgLo5rB1HLV1GFQlydCpVG8nqRkyezNTFe3O4GREJi3h1KsQNEo4gNQ9dFeW_IYC8JugNzYQ0kwmRNxir4-aamZu17uzQFzGIdUdowZ6Cw2Ie-bg6TlJPOqlitAJZLQ\">here<\/a>.  If you have a smart phone, you might be able to install the KIM-1 Emulator on that as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Web Emulators<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option is to use Web based emulators.  S2JS.Com has a good <a href=\"https:\/\/s2js.com\/altair\/\">Altair 8800 Emulator.<\/a>  If you wish to go back in time a bit further, you might visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.neocomputer.org\/kenbak\/\">Kenbak-1 emulator.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hardware Emulators<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, the hardware emulators are the best choice.  They provide a good balance between a real look and feel with a good price.  For the most part, you can build these yourself.  To make your job easier, you might want to purchase a kit though.  You can buy kits for vintage computers at <a href=\"https:\/\/adwaterandstir.com\">adwaterandstir.com <\/a>or <a href=\"https:\/\/altairclone.com\">altairclone.com<\/a>.  Furthermore, if you prefer the IMSAI, you might visit <a href=\"https:\/\/thehighnibble.com\/\">thehighnibble.com<\/a>.  If you are a 6502 enthusiast, and like the KIM-1, you might check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corshamtech.com\/product-category\/kim-1-products\/\">corshamtech&#8217;s<\/a> website.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a &#8220;modern&#8221; vintage computer build, you can check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/z80kits.com\/shop\/rc2014-classic-ii\/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw5ZSWBhCVARIsALERCvzQU5r6KzG_kW-Da_pEn_sRgJiMieramkGIwFJZX6LWoHQ2VPlFrcgaAp81EALw_wcB\">RC2014<\/a>.  This uses the Z80 processor, and can run CP\/M.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"439\" height=\"581\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bryceautomation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-13.png\" alt=\"Altair 8800 (AltairDuino) on Telnet\" class=\"wp-image-11445 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/bryceautomation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-13.png 439w, https:\/\/bryceautomation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-13-227x300.png 227w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 439px) 100vw, 439px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 439px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 439\/581;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you can check out some of my own builds for the <a href=\"https:\/\/bryceautomation.com\/index.php\/2022\/03\/19\/building-the-kenbak-1-computer\/\">Kenbak<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bryceautomation.com\/index.php\/2022\/02\/27\/altair-8800-with-arduino-due\/\">Altair<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/bryceautomation.com\/index.php\/2021\/10\/31\/building-the-kim-uno-kim-1\/\">Kim-1<\/a> without kits.  Obviously, it takes a lot longer to build without a kit, but the cost is a little bit less.  Especially if you already have most of the parts laying around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"507\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bryceautomation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image-156.png\" alt=\"AltairDuino 8800\" class=\"wp-image-11104 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/bryceautomation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image-156.png 750w, https:\/\/bryceautomation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image-156-300x203.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 750px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 750\/507;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary of Why I Use Vintage Computers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You will learn a lot about how computers really work by stepping back in time.    For most of us, cost is an issue, and we also want machines that we are proud of.  You just have to weigh your skills, finances, and pride in your own work against the cost of each type of setup.  Obviously, there are many other combinations of options available.  These are just a few of the options I&#8217;ve been experimenting with lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212; Ricky Bryce<\/p>\n<div id=\"bryce-3463379816\" class=\"bryce-after-content bryce-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8316758073402323\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8316758073402323\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"4667596182\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction to Why I Use Vintage Computers Why I Use Vintage Computers is part nostalgia.
