Graingy PSA: Any of you good with computers?

41.3k Graingy  one month ago

No, I don't mean Windows 11, I mean transistors and all that nonsense.

I just learned some moron in 1972 lost the very expensive shipment of the first large production run of Graingy microprocessors. That was like a million dollars at the time. Run the inflation, it ain't pretty.

Anyways, someone in the Brass recently remembered this, sent a memo. If anyone can find it, it's yours. The things are laughably obsolete so they have next to no real value to us. The G72MP-2500A, 4-bit, similar to the Intel 4004 off which it's partially based. It has some quirks of its own in construction and use, but wherever the shipment is it should have manuals packed with it.

Have at it, I guess.

    In other news, I now understand why that IT guy all those years ago started screaming when the client he was on the phone with said their processor was a 4004.

    I really should refine the Monster-class design... The paper is, like, what, five, six years old?
    Holds up okay, but needs some tweaking.
    Maybe someday I could make it in SP. Maybe.

    Silly as this sounds, I don't wanna risk someone else using all those names. Would be rather annoying.

    @Ashdenpaw1 I was hilariously accurate.
    You are, and I say this positively, a nerd.

    The siren shown in that video is a Whelen WPS-3000, with its volume turned down a lot

    @Ashdenpaw1 Oh? Vintage in what sense? Now I'm curious.

    I'm good with all software, not really hardware. I do know a lot about simple vintage hardware for old stuff like siren control systems but not modern computer hardware
