⌨⬛ This is the NeXT computer. Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau used it at CERN to set up the first web server, id Software developed games like Doom and Quake on it, and at Slovenian daily newspaper Delo they used it to digitize the entire newspaper production process.

🦖🌪️ Silicon Graphics graphic workstations were once synonymous with high performance - they even appeared in movies like Jurassic Park, Twister, and Congo. In the museum, we have a lot of interesting peripherals for them, including several SGI IndyCam cameras.

✏️📺 In our museum collection, we have a unique gaming console called the Vectrex, which comes with its own built-in TV screen. Its distinctive feature, as evident from its name, is vector graphics (made up of lines) instead of raster graphics (like pixels on the screen) - giving its games a unique look and very smooth animations.

💼💻 Many people would have loved to own an HP 200LX in 1994. It's powered by a 186 processor running MS-DOS 5.0, with 2 MB of available RAM, and offers plenty of I/O ports and expansion possibilities.

💡🖨️ For terminal access, you don't even need a monitor. Ancestor of this dot matrix printer with a keyboard, the DECwriter III, had its roots in teleprinters, which evolved from telegraphy. This model dates back to 1977 and supports only the more modern RS-232 standard with a maximum speed of 9600 bit/s.

⚾🧱 Arkanoid for DOS was developed by the Japanese company Taito in 1988. It successfully continued the brick-breaking genre that Atari had pioneered with the arcade game Breakout in 1976. Arkanoid was a hit, with versions available for nearly 20 different systems in addition to DOS. What's your favorite "breakout"?

🦕🖥️ The Lear Siegler ADM-3A terminal (1976) looks like it's straight out of The Flintstones 😃 We received it 12 years ago from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, and it dates back to the times before the influential VT100 terminal.

🧼💾 An unused cleaning kit for 5.25'' and 3.5'' disk drives. The liquid, we fear, may have evaporated by now. There's also the question of whether the material in the cleaning disks is still in a condition that we'd dare bring it into contact with the drive head 😅

The MSX Philips VG-8010, a younger sibling to the more famous 8020, was released in 1985 as part of the MSX standard (despite lacking certain features like a Centronics port and expansion bus.) It was the second MSX computer from Philips 🖥️ and came with 32kB RAM, a chiclet keyboard, and two cartridge slots (missing the cover in our case).
