One book, but I don't know if it's in the film.

I haven't seen the film yet.

What, what was inside?

80 80?

Why does it look remarkably like the front of an older?

Uh, because it was based on an out, maybe themes.

I e.

T A C was a machine that come out not long after the outer.

It's an S 100 bus based machines.

So s 100 means that it had a connector at a back plane, But there was 100 connections which carried the data bus address.

Busted all the control lines for the process.

Sir, The back lane didn't do anything.

It was just a bunch of connectors.

You'd have a CPU board, maybe a Rambo or maybe a cereal bored.

You could expand it so effectively, it was it was pretty much the same as the out air.

But it kind of looked nice with its nice big switches.

Little bit PDP a stole switches.

Must be ones there.

Any ideas that would light up on the front, so kind of a sexy looking out, they remind me of almost the front of a VCR.

Yeah, I can see some of them say address.

Some of them say data.

Some what some say in port.

I mean, how does it How would it work?

You literally toggle in binary data on the any days, would light up on the panel there with your bone around, put from it.

So if you want to write data to address zero FF, then you would convert that into binary.

You would total that finery in on you in the same way you would tumble in the data that goes there, and that's it.

So it's a very, very time consuming.

But actually I mean, everybody talks about that in the way the out areas down.

And that is a very, very slow and tedious process quite often what you would be doing.

It's just troubling a few lines of code.

Well, maybe just a jump.

Even that would jump to a bit of code.

That memory that would then initialize destroy evil tape or whatever.

So what they call boot loader code just to jump the machine into life and get talking to Sprinkles.

So you've got the address bus there.

You could set the address on.

Then you've got your data on you.

Control that in as well.

And that way you can basically like a poke command in basic.

You can put data into a certain memory location.

Yes, you can use them like that.

But ultimately these things, you could have a serial port.

If you had a serial port, you could hook up a terminal.

You might have a rum in there, which might be basically a low basic in for anything else.

Maybe C p m.

From a disc tape.

Whatever interfaces you had connected to it, you could get your data in and out.

So it's not like we all just sat there.

Total Indian code day after day in binary.

See, people did.

But, you know, these things were a bit more usable than that.

Remember when we looked in the old days, there were all sorts of upgrades and changes.

And would that be quite common on one of these as well that people just have their own different boards?

Yeah.

I mean, these machines were in for enthusiasts.

You know, the people that were buying these quite often work electrics.

He kind of people s Oh, Yeah, you were by one.

And you would just keep making it better.

And the same as everybody does with their PC.

More ram, More speed, more power.

It was exactly the same.

So yeah, the outside of the original round.

So that we have isn't really much of an outside left, you know, it was upgraded so much this on this bit different.

It's had a bigger back plane in it.

So it's gotta think of toys back plane there so you can plug in more boards and, you know, same thing would have been going on.

Let's upgrade it.

We need more room for our applications.

You're really into computers.

It looks to me like, kind of quite a professional machine.

So it's probably bending reality to have had the hacker kid with it sitting on his bookcase.

Yeah, these things weren't cheap.

S o.

You know, they were reasonably good money.

So whether Matthew Lightman his name, I think it's Broderick.

So enlightment like I remember.

Um, it was, uh um yeah would have afforded to have one of those machines in his bedroom.

I don't know, because it's the machine into just about picture that machine you got the terminal that went next to it.

You have these little speaker box so I could speak.

Andi is VHS player on the on the shelf there.

That's a fair old amount of money is worth of gear.

But maybe his parents were loaded.

I don't know, but they go on the I mean, were they bending it?

Be with things like the speaker.

You want to hear it or come in?

What sort of hardware would you have needed to have made a computer of that era talk?

I mean, they're waas basic space, and this is out there.

So it's it's feasible, states.

Maybe it spoke a bit better than the actual real speech synthesizers did at the time.

I mean, I can't remember when the SP 0256 K out, which is a chip which is a space in the chip you're linking those up too early is exciting ones and things.

But I mean, speech synthesis has been around sometimes, so it was kind of feasible.

Maybe normally we get the lid off.

We have a look around, but this particular one's being with.

Yes, this one is a bit of an empty shell a minute.

So we have one of our volunteers is currently taking the boards out on Dhe is getting work him.

So we've got there's a process of cardio Ram card.

Yes, 100 is pretty standard.

So he contested in other machines wth e out here.

He's already done.

So we now will very shortly have an out air where you can, where you could trouble in the date review one.

But we probably won't.

But we will be out to load in the little program to just fill up with timing loops.

And as those timing looks, play interferes with the radio.

The radio then creates tones and you got music on.

Apparently, there was this award given for the first thing.

They really made an out hairdo of any use.

If you call that of any use bags musics, of course.

So, yeah, it s so that would be working.

But also, the next thing is, get the inside workings.

Well, eh, So we're just getting the bulls, Deng.

Then we'll refurbish the machine itself.

Hopefully you didn't come here and have a play and we could take it to that gate because yellow key yellow castle and we could get in there.

Now we have what could possibly be a sword or maybe just a narrow.

So we can now take that one that we could come out.

Is it one thing at a time?

Yeah.

Yeah.

So you gotta have the right things at the right time so we can go this way all but we can't.
