About this archive
Preserve the machine. Publish the method.
A personal collection treated as a working engineering archive rather than a shelf of static objects.
THE APPROACH
Technical curiosity with a preservation mindset.
Every system begins with observation: photographs, part numbers, board revisions, installed options, and symptoms. Measurements come before replacement, and reversible work is preferred wherever possible.
This site is the public notebook for that process. It will grow from baseline specifications into restoration logs, interface designs, software notes, schematics, and original photography.
The collection currently includes an HP-85, HP 9000/360, and Apple IIe, with more systems and projects planned.
