ITT: The oldest devices that are STILL in production
This thing is from fucking 1999
obligatory model M-clone reporting in
There is probably a lot of government stuff that is OLD OLD OLD, but still produced.
>>47056872
I wonder if AMD is still making their 40 MHz 80186
I'm sure they probably dropped it in 2007 when Intel dropped their 186 production as well.
>>47056951
yeah, the 80486 production ended in 2007, I think
>>47056957
Intel stopped producing the 8086 through 486 and probably their embedded Pentium chips around that time, but I don't know if AMD did
isn't there lots of old and simple tech still in use for space appliances, like satellites etc?
that low density tech should be quite good at not caring about radiation
>>47056872
Not sure if this counts as a device but the Enfield motorcylces in India have been in production with the same design since British colonialism.
>>47056983
a lot of satellites and probes are driven by PowerPC G3s
shows you how much technology hasn't really advanced since 2000
>>47056992
>PowerPC G3
I just nostalgia'd hard
>>47056992
that's surprising to me in the opposite way, last i looked space-radiation-hardened cpu's weren't past 486 level speeds
>>47057011
and for $200,000 a chip it can be all yours
>>47057017
even more surprising is that these aren't even some new development, BAE has been making them since the 750 was actually a current-generation chip
>>47057038
>RAD750
>>47056983
>>47056992
>>47057011
>>47057017
Because what they use is reliable, works, and they're not mining bitcoins up there.
>>47056872
Does it count if the process is updated? 741 opamps were introduced in 1968 and are still in production.
>>47057082
none of us are shitting on it at all, these are actually quite comfortably powerful for what they do
some of those windows mobile devices they still make for industrial/business use still use super ancient shit.
>>47057082
i was also thinking ti-8x calcs, but it looks like most of the classic ones are discontinued, and the new ones don't even use Zilog Z80 cpus
>>47057082
Would you theoretically be able to run CP/M on a Z80-based TI calculator?
>>47057111
Yes. If you knew the proper languages and had the keyboard you could probably get going in a day or so and have fun
>>47057118
answered my own question right before you responded
all the links I found are garbage though but they at least tell me you can, dunno if anyone's actually tried (at the very least they haven't released it for other people to fuck with)
>>47056872
I wanted to see a video of that device working and I'm disappointed because there is none.
>>47057102
Oldest ones on the list are the 83+ (1999) and 73 (1998) Kind of surprised they discontinued the 83SE instead of the 83+, unless it was too close in specs to the 84 series.
>>47057102
TI-83+ is still sold and 84SE C's specs still list Z80. I wonder if the puny 15Mhz Z80 has trouble filling shit on the color screen.
>>47057106
6502 compatible chips are still being used by some things as well
for example, tamagotchis run entirely on its own lcd controller, which includes a 6502-compatible cpu core
>>47057082
>>47057102
>>47057132
They still make HP-12Cs too, although they don't make them in their totally unmodified 1981 form anymore, they use SoCs but they still work the same
I have a pair of the original 1981 models though, one made in 1992 and another one I think in 2001.
>>47057151
>tfw can't into RPN calc. ;_;
Klischorn loudspeakers.
Production run: 1946 - Current.
Onio Art iPad.
Westfield have been producing whips for carriage driving for over 200 years.
>>47057248
these shits did incredibly frustrate me back then because once you clear the screen, it's gone. forever.
especially when dicks cleared my screen when I was gone for a second.
>>47057274
but horses don't even exist anymore, what's the point?
>>47057274
The Wheel
>>47057304
don't play coy, you know the answer
Been in production since the late 60's with a couple minor updates.
>>47057304
>but horses don't even exist anymore, what's the point?
>horses don't even exist anymore
all of my wat.
Brannock Device
What's a Brannock Device?
Google it and prepare to go, "aw shiiiit. that thing!"
>>47057082
>Because why innovate or make things cheaper when you hold a monopoly
>>47057398
>whos that semen demon
But also that device is just simply too functional to let go.
>>47057288
>especially when dicks cleared my screen when I was gone for a second.
That's an early lesson for you. Usually you only learn that the hard way in engineering schools with retarded classmates.
>>47057410
dunno. lol. I just a semi random image I grabbed to post.
>>47057398
I'd like to imagine Charles F. Brannock just hung out at cobbler shops around New York and whenever he saw a fly honey measure her foot size he'd swoop in over her shoulder and say "I invented that, you know"
