I finally got it! Though I couldn’t test the CBM then and there, as its is way too dusty under the hood. Didnt wanna risk shorting the electrics or worse. I’ll show just how dusty it all is tomorrow.
Talking of Dusty insides, its insides are rather interesting actually, with from what I can tell some ancient modifications done to it. But for now im just really Excited to finally have it!
That is the best photo of a buckled in computer ever
What kind of design is it where the passenger has to ask the driver to turn on the seat warmers??
A 90s subaru design.
Literally the Video that made it my Dream car years ago~
I love how jank my SVX is. There are just so many odd choices made in it, that I can’t help but love it! Also sadly neither of those heated seats work at the moment…
In a SVX no less. Nifty!
I was about to say. That window…
Yessssssss! My little dream Car I got a few months ago. I absolutely had to take it to pick it up!
I love to see old tech being loved and treasured. Cheers to this and may every old computer have such a loving home.
Assuming it works, are you going to look for a drive, or maybe a flash storage interface?
Yeah I’ll look for one of those original Dual Floppy Drives! Though might be a bit difficult as they are all more expensive then the Computer itself…
I wonder if a parallel interface could be hacked into a 1581, making use of the ROM’s support for it.
Very cool find. I remember very vividly playing Oregon trail on a Pet at school.
even if its fried you can make an awesome mechanical keyboard out of it. this is like 1979 technology, maybe 16kb total ram, what maybe 1mhz processor?
Thats very exactly its specs yes
Congrats!
Looks cozy
Thank you!

Do you have a suede dashboard?

It does. The Subaru SVX is a pretty wild car. It had the crazy split windows that you can see in the picture as well.
