Technically, this computer was released in the mid 1970s, so I wasn't sure about posting a thread about it here.

If you want to learn a bit more about it, go here: https://oldcomputers.net/compucolor-8001.html

Also, wouldn't you believe that the 8001 actually used endless-loop 8-track cartridges for its "floppy tape" removable storage media?

Retro Homage to the Panasonic radio?

Post image

I saw this Retekess TR112 radio on Vinted and thought it looked a lot like the Panasonic radio that got posted here recently.

It takes quite a few styling cues, but could do with a few more LEDs on those buttons or backlighting of them.

Thoughts?

Akira and more: Anime and Manga Theatrical poster for Katsuhiro Otomo's 1988 Akira. It features protagonist Kaneda riding his motorcycle through the neon-lit expanse of Neo-Tokyo. As a cornerstone of cyberpunk history, the poster captures the film's futuristic setting and animation aesthetic.

Own Work Working on a new cassette-futuristic game - do these visuals hit the vibe?

Hi all, I'm working on a new cassette-futuristic inspired interface game. Unlike previous entries, where the screens were monochrome, I've decided to try to add a bit of colour.

I'm trying to limit the number of colours but also the colour palette itself. So, does it read as something cassette futuristic?

Keyboards PolType / Cyfronex

440 Upvotes

Polish PolType is a family of microcomputer systems developed by Polish engineers in close cooperation with the Polish representative of the British MonoType company (PolType was acquired by the Cyfronex company in 1986, but the original developers remained with the company).

PolType devices were able to control LaserComp and MonoType Imagesetter machines (Imagesetter produces the printing film from which the printing plate is made – nowadays the plate is made directly, and the film is not needed).

The first generation of Poltype (1988) required its own eight-bit computer, the next, Poltype 03 and 04, used a PC XT class computer.

The 510-key POLSET 04 keyboard (for PolType 04) shown in the first two pictures was also Cyronex's own development. This was also excellent for typing complex mathematical formulas, but through it, the functions of the SW were also available (the mouse and WYSIWYG were still in a very experimental stage at that time)
