Single file D88 (PC-8801 disk format) tool for creating, editing, and adding data to disk files.

Has been working for me for a couple years, quickly ported the code from python to c++03 for portability.

NEC is considering a sale of its data centers as the Japanese technology group seeks to streamline its portfolio and raise cash by selling non-core assets, according to people familiar with the matter. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/03/14/companies/nec-weighs-sale-data-center/ #business #companies #nec #tech

« #UK police chiefs have announced plans to equip officers with a mobile-based #FacialRecognition tool that will enable them to cross reference photos of suspects against a database of millions of custody images from their phones.

Known as #OperatorInitiatedFacialRecognition ( #OIFR ), the tool uses software supplier #NEC’s #NeoFace facial-recognition #algorithm, and is currently being jointly trialled by #SouthWales, #Gwent and #Cheshire police. »

I couldn't resist checking out the NEC APCIII a little bit. It's got what looks like a multi-serial card and a HDD (maybe 10 whole megabytes). Some of these ran System III UNIX. Maybe this was a multi user system? Also in a miraculous twist of fate, the CMOS battery hasn't leaked!

The back of the computer showing various ports.
An overview of the computer, it's packed with cards and cables.
A close-up of the CPU(?), a RAM expansion and the intact CMOS battery.

Another garage find. This is an NEC APCIII. It's the US version of the pc9801. It runs MS-DOS but it has a different BIOS and a high resolution CGA adjacent display. So most DOS software is unlikely to work. Why do I have it? I don't know. I think I picked it up because it was weird and in the days before retro was cool, it was really cheap. Hopefully I'll have some time to tear it down and clean it up next weekend. #retrocomputing #nec #pc98 #retrocomputer

The quest to understand why my #NEC MultiSync 3D is all screwed up begins! First is this odd section of greasy dampness on the bottom board. Did it come from the power supply? Did it come from the neckboard? Neither? Both? #retrocomputing #crt #crtrepair

The CRT has crazy bright lines through it and some kind of wavy green pattern

The 1970s-era #Amtrak #Turboliner that still sits in Adams Yard right next to the #NEC is such a silly historical artifact that still survives, even if Amtrak and NY want to forget about it.
