The Danish Society for Computer History was founded in 2002, but already 10 years earlier the volunteers had started to gather historic artefacts from, among others, the Danish computer company Regnecentralen. Ever since then it has been the vision to create a Danish computer museum. A vision which became reality last year! In this talk I will tell our story, current state of our exhibition and plans for the future!

Mikkel Mikjær Christensen (Mike)
It was in the context of a residency at Willem Twee Studios in 2016 (NL) that I was introduced to the fascinating world of analog computation by Hans Kulk, who taught me how to produce sounds from their Hitachi 240 analog computer. I had the chance of working on such an instrument at several occasions throughout the years, getting deeper into its applications for my music. This presentation is meant to show the percussive character of the "resonators" – the sound producing elements – which, as counter-intuitive as it may seem, resemble very much the natural decay of acoustic percussion. Another peculiarity is the tuning accuracy of the machine: The pitches used during the performance are derived from a Just Intonation scale, a system whereby frequency precision is paramount. In the last part of the presentation I will play back some of the music I released on record in recent years, using the analog computer as a foundational sound element.

Portable software must adapt to peculiarities of the target platforms. Even variations within a "compatible" family of computers may require specific code. But how does a program identify which machine is executing it? In this presentation we will dissect, line by line, a subroutine written by the late Charles Lasner (CJL) as part of the Kermit implementation for the PDP-8 family of computers. The subroutine, "MACHINE", is capable of identifying all DEC PDP-8 models. Some familiarity with programming will benefit the listener, but the presentation includes the basics of PDP-8 assembly and the level should be approachable to most.
