Default Re: Retro computer homebrew: Orton Karenbak-1 computer

Great work Karen. For my nbsecam experiments my next step was going to be an attempt with various tensioned wires but i never progressed beyond thinking about it. The other "idea" was to try an old hard disk drive but that would require parking mechanisms and would no doubt end up more complicated than the mother machine! Maybe an old floppy disk and just move the head on a touch when you wear the surface out though that would maybe be too slow?
