... what would you do with it?
The physics department at school has two old analog computers that have not seen any use for at least 25 years. It's probably been a good bit longer, seeing as they're both vacuum tube devices. The math and science head has offered to let me borrow one of them on an extended loan so I can play around with it for a while.
I was just wondering if anyone knows a thing or two about them, and what I might be able to do, sound-wise. I'll probably be in a position to do some sampling, so I'm hoping to get some interesting sounds out of it for that purpose. He's told me they can handle modeling oscillating systems.
As an aside, he also has an ancient HP all-in-one type of digital computer with a monitor, printer, and not one, but two high-speed tape decks. It runs CP/M.
