It got me
thinking though about other old computers that I've
seen in movies recently. Here's what I can remember so far.
Televideo TS-802 -Pretty in Pink
AT&T 6300 -Secret to My Success
IMSAI -Wargames
Real Genius - HP-150

Cool!
So now we've got:
Televideo TS-802 -Pretty in Pink
AT&T 6300 -Secret to My Success
IMSAI -Wargames
HP-150 -Real Genius
GE Differential Analyzer (UCLA) -When Worlds Collide
Thinking Machines CM-5 -Jurrasic Park
Memotech FDX500 or MTX512 -Weird Science
Mac Plus -Star Trek IV
VAX 11/750 with IBM 3290 plasma display panels -some independant film (?)
It's kind of cool to be able to spot a vintage computer that you recognize
in a movie. I never noticed the computers in "Secret to my Success" until I
found a AT&T 6300, and then the computers on the desks might as well of had
flashing red lights on them. "Hey! I've got one of those."

More for your list. I hope you compile this so we can just refer to it
the next time someone asks this :)
Apple //c - that movie where the kids dream about some schematic of
some gizmo that they then build and it allows them to travel
through space without feeling any inertia and they build a
spacecraft and fly to some alien ship and meet some kid aliens
(I always forget the damn name of this movie)
Apple //c - 2010
Beverly Hills cops has some specific model of an IBM PS/2 (I think). I
posted this one before.
I know more but my "personal computer" is currently not functioning at
optimal parameters.
And I still haven't figured out what that computer is in _Electric
Dreams_, although I suspect it's a kludged up dealy for visual effect.

I remember seeing my personal favourite, (a Vax 6000) in a kids movie a
couple months back.
Can't remember the title, but they are in a basement lab of some kind,
controlling the movement of
some ice hockey players above. The Vax is just there in the background, not
switched on.
I also remember seeing a list of stuff like this on a web site somewhere.
It was a REALLY BIG list too.
Darn it, must remember to bookmark stuff like that...

It is. It is also notable that in 2005 Haywood Floyd will invent a
miracle cure for the yellowing of Apple //c cases, hence the pristine
condition of the 25 year old computer seen in the movie. Rumor has it
he subscribes to this list.

Apple //c cases only yellow if left in unfriendly environments, such as
direct sunlight. I have many //c's that are still as white as when they
came out of the box.
And by 2005 they will only be 21 years old :)

New subject: Mac IIfx and IEEE-488 interface
I was checking out some Mac IIfx machines today and they had
what appeared to be boards with a single IEEE-488 connector on them.
To the best of my knowledge, all the machines were used as graphics
workstations. I've never seen that interface on a Mac before
though...any ideas what it might have been used for?

I've seen at least one high end Kodak photo printer that used a 488
interface with a Mac, but this is a heck of a guessing game compared to
just firing up the mac and running something like TattleTech that reads the

Actually, I was thinking about the other stuff in the
storeroom these were in...as there were a good dozen of them plus
lots of other stuff...and there was a large bubblejet color printer
of some kind in there and if I recall correctly it was either from
Kodak or Cannon. It was larger than a normal table saw...the thing
was huge! There were also a couple of Quadra's and a few PM 8500's
as well as what appeared to be an early Sony CDR in a large pizza-box
style case. Anyway, there were a couple of 488 cables coming out of
the pile near the printer. I'll have to take a closer look at it all
either tomorrow or Monday...maybe even try to power up on of the
IIfx's.

Things have been nuts recently at one college, the boss boss visited the

and said clean it up, EVERYTHING. Tuesday the 6th truck sized dumpster got
filled, and it was mayhem. One of the painfull things to see dumped was a
working HP 300XL large format inkjet, an old full page display from an XT
era system. I bought and saved what I could, but it was weird, basically
same old price if you want it, otherwise tossed in a dumpster and you can't
get it out. Sad sight.

I remember one use was for driving photo camera's (slide makers?). The
MAC would create the picture on the camera's film and you would have it
developed. Thus the slides. Now for the conspirasists (sp?) out there:
You realize that if you can use a computer to generate a picture (and I
think film is still valid in court) that you could create a picture
with what ever you want on it. But then again with NBC's (or was it CBS)
changing an ad (in almost realtime) during the Y2K eve dropping of the
ball nothing should surprise us any more. Gives a whole new meaning to
"Don't believe what you hear and only half of what you see".

New subject: Vintage computers in movies - need I.D. from still
I have posted a heavily watermarked still from Superman

It shows Richard Pryor sitting in front of two units -
one of which looks sort of like a dumb terminal. The
has a screen and what appears to be a switch.

I know we had a thread on this some time back.
Or was it a big Burroughs system?
I forget.
Sam will remind me.
