Apollo Guidance Computer Part 8: a Blinkenlight AGC! (and help from Samtec on the way)
In this update, Mike reveals the hidden Blinkenlights of the AGC. This episode is made possible by our sponsors Samtec (https://www.samtec.com) and PCBWay (https://www.pcbway.com). Some answers to frequent comments and relevant links: Yes we know about Francois Rautenbach and the Block I core ropes ( • Apollo Rope Memory Modules (Part 1 - Intro... ). These ropes are also from Jimmie and not compatible with our Block II computer Yes we are in contact with Fran • Apollo AGC DSKY Display Project, Pt.1 (and several others) about their superb DSKYs replicas.
