Vortrag mit Live-Vorführung »Digitale DDR«

In the organizer's words:

From the R-300 mainframe to the small computers of the KC series.

Nobody had a computer at home in the GDR? Not true, of course. This year, the KC 85/1 small computer is just as old as the GDR as a whole: it was presented for the first time at the Leipzig Spring Fair in 1985 and was mainly used in the education sector. In addition to the "KC scene", René Meyer will also be presenting kits such as the Z 1013, western computers such as the Commodore C-64 and, of course, the Poly-Play-Automat. The computer collector and author of the book "Von Robotron bis Poly-Play. Computer and Video Games in the GDR" will not only present the small computers from Dresden and Mühlhausen in a lecture, but will also put some of them back into operation live. So get a few old BASIC commands ready.

Lecture and discussion:
René Meyer, journalist and computer collector, Leipzig

Moderation:
Sören Marotz, Exhibition Director DDR Museum, Berlin
