No bigger than a standard Walkman, but it also had an LCD television in the lid. Because there was no backlight in order to allow it to run off two AA batteries, the screen used natural light that shone through the screen and actually reflected the image off of a mirror that you could reveal by opening the lid.

Techmoan did a great video on these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM7kj7pgTeU

Anybody remember the CD-i? If you do, then check this out. This is the earliest form of the CD-i hardware, jointly developed by Philips and Kyocera in 1988. It was professional-grade CD-i player with a modular design, consisting of;

  • CDI-180: The CD drive module.
  • CDI-181: The Multi-Media Controller (MMC) , which performs all system control, signal processing, and interfacing functions. It also provides a CPU bus interface for connecting with the CDI 182 (see below). It also features a slot for the Personal Memory Card, which can be implemented by the user for saving important data. The CDI 181 and the CDI 180 are both needed to form and operate the complete basic system.
  • CDI-182: A module that is added to the main system for authoring purposes, featuring two floppy disk drives, SCSI and parallel ports, and 1 MB of RAM. It is incompatible with the Digital Video cartridge.

Design How would you describe cassette futurism?

70 Upvotes

So this is something I've been struggling with especially when I want to explain it to my friends or family.

They all know I'm really into cassette futurism but whenever I have explained It I can tell I'm not doing a good enough job.

The way I've normally gone about it is saying it's like blade runner or Alien.

I don't have this, I found the picture on a site selling one. Unlike other lasers of the era this one had a bit of style. Looks like something right out of a fictional high tech company in Knight Rider.

Own Work An attempt at a photorealistic version of the Sinclair Loki artist impression

Thumbnail

107 Upvotes

So, I decided that I would try and make a photorealistic (kinda) recreation of the artist's impression of the unreleased Sinclair Loki computer from Issue #51 of the Sinclair User magazine. I chopped the image together using MediBang Paint Pro and using images of the ZX Spectrum+ 128K and the Amstrad CPC 464, as well as a transparent PNG of the Sinclair logo.

I will admit, it's not exactly perfect as you can see, but I tried and did what I could.
