I hadn't really given that any thought, I have a very nice digital
Omega timer. It's more a case of prior to Darkroom V1.0 I'd had my
PDP-11/73 and Commodore 64 setup in the area. With V1 the C64 got
put up on top a pile of boxes. With V2, the PDP-11/73 has been
evicted :-( and the C64 has at least a temporary home. :-)
BTW, I'm
quite happy to report that as part of the project to redo my
darkroom, I've set my Commodore 64 back up (yes, in the darkroom
area). In fact part of the time I was supposed to be working on the
Darkroom last Saturday I was actually playing a game on the C64. :-)
Are you planning on using the C64 as an enlarger timer or soemthing? IIRC
'Cotnrol the World with HPIL' has an enlarger meter/timer based on one of
the hP handhelds (HP41?) One of Thomas Tomosy's books on camera repair has a
chutter testing timer
based on a C64 with a photosensoe conencted ot the joystick port.
Thanks for the tip! I'll have to have a go at finding that! Looks
like I need to find a copy of "Camera Maintenance and Repair",
actually I think that's a book that's already on my wish list... I
desperately need a shutter speed tester for some of my older gear.
