RE: [neonixie-l] What is this? Nixie tube shaped neon sign?

The giant nixies were the visitor counters. I used to love going there, it was a technology showcase owned by Philips. Currently it is a conference center once the visitor rate fell below the sustainable level. There are a number of reasons why that happened, and probably in no small part because t

It's a bit more difficult to turn a ZX80 into a nixie clock as it doesn't have a NMI circuit (you can add that by using a ZX80 to ZX81 conversion). The NMI is used to build up the screen in SLOW mode (ZX80 doesn't have SLOW mode) and this interrupt vector can be re-directed to your own interrupt ro

That's a beauty ! I've got an old Sinclair ZX80 stashed away. Its the white bodied one that, I think, precedes this one. I'll have to dig it out, and see what I can do with it. On Monday, April 22, 2013 12:14:55 AM UTC-7, Michel wrote: > > After cleaning out the garage a few weeks ago and stumbl

I probably saw it, but didn't take note of it, when I visited it, back in '87. Wasn't into nixies at that time. From how brightly lit, that area is, I'd say that's near the main entrance & cafeteria area, while it was still a museum. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

Thanks Aaron, I've only been in OZ for about 10 years so I know Dick Smith but not his Apple II clone :-) Yes, the possibilities of retro clocks is basically endless. The ZX81 only has 1k RAM including the screen memory and system variables... It is actually pretty hard to write some clock softwa
