Austellungen 2016 In more-or-less historical order. Add your own exhibit here! 1950s-60s LGP-30 Replica project The LGP-30 was probably the first “personal computer” in 1956. Its simple, low-cost architecture requires only 15 bits to be held electronically, in tube-based flip-flops. This is made possible by a bit-serial architecture, which manipulates the 32-bit registers one bit at a time, driven by clock and control signals from its magnetic memory drum.
