MK-90 was used in a radio-spectrogram device that used a scintillation sensor. GPIO header above is a drver-controller interface used to connect to that sensor. Memory card stored a software that built diagrams for isotopes. Unfortunately, when I've hot my unit in 2007, the memory card battery was long gone (((( And since Basic can not interface GPIO header, I could not play with it. After using the whole setup for several years as a toy, I've donated it to our local radiophile. Now I know that it was a stupid idea to get rid of the device, cause Arduino came to our country about the same year and I could try to use Arduino to reverse engineer the sensor controller.
Thanks for the video ) At least some new content with my favorite toy ) Actually, this thing is far from beyond of being fully understood nowadays and a lot of its history and usage still stays covered in shadow. And, based on how popular this thing is on Ebay i can hardly understand why there is no fans of it somewhere in US or western Europe, as well as near 0 info on youtube and forums from English-speaking owners. Unique, by itself, piece of machinery.
Ooh the Doomsday Duplicator sounds pretty sweet.

Oh - thought I'd missed an unannounced stream for a minute there! Thanks for uploading this one.

Nice terminal keyboard. I'm not sure how much audio processing is doing to that click but it sounds really nice.
First look and tests....4,5 hours.....
You know a red border around the thumbnail makes me think ive already watched the video. Is that your intent?
