Subject: RE: rarest computers
rush for a Computer History Museum event, but I think it
boiled down to dirty contacts on everything. I unseated and
re-seated all the modules and it finally came up. There
I did all that before I discovered it was an NTSC box :) Didn't have any
compatible display device at the time so it went back in its box....
BTW, when I was in Japan at the National Science
Museum, they
had on loan the original "Brown Box" prototype of the
Odyssey. They actually had it turned on and connected to a
television, and it was still working!
Brilliant! Do you know if there are any pictures of that? I've seen
original 1960s photos of the brown box but a current one would be
excellent.
Cheers
