Welcome to the technikum29 Development Projects

This is the home of the major development projects in the technikum29.de computer museum that concern modern computers. You may read the abstracts on the museum homepage to get a quick introducion what this is about.

Currently active: The Bull Analex Project

Our latest project: Connecting an antique printer to a completely other antique computing mainframe by using some microcontrollers. As a waste product you can print from a PC to a high speed printer and use a PC to simulate the printer of a Bull Gamma 10.

(Almost) finalized projects

There are two other very comprehensive projects concerning computer input/output to several punching and scanning units to process both paper tapes and punched cards:

• The Paper Tape Project (Life span: 2008-2009)
• The Punch Card Project (Life span: 2009-2011)

Historically, these projects have already been joined together, being named Punched Paper Project. Click on the project names to get further information or brows the source code in the SVN.

Content

This new site, located at http://dev.technikum29.de/projects, is still growing. There is much documentational content that is supposed to move from the Subversion repository to this wiki. I am currently not sure whether I want to migrate the contents from the old projects homepage to the new one, so you can still visit the Homepage of the Punched Paper Project (It should be mentioned that that page is quite out of date).
