Guida al riconoscimento di hardware storico

Questo documento elenca i criteri che permettono di riconoscere quale hardware (computer, monitor, periferica, dispositivo elettronico, scheda, rack o altro ancora) puo' essere di interesse storico rispetto ad altro hardware piu' recente o di nessun interesse.

Criteri di base

Per un primo riconoscimento possiamo classificare i seguenti metodi di indagine:

  • Marche e case produttrici
  • Forma
  • Dimensione
  • Materiali utilizzati
  • Colori

Marche e case produttrici

Alcune case produttrici oggi non esistono piu'; e' quindi facile identificare hardware di interesse storico in base alle seguenti marche:

Forse e' il caso di sfoltire ed eliminare alcuni di questi loghi/marche? Sono troppi?

Forma

I computer di una volta avevano forme differenti rispetto a quelli odierni. Di seguito, ecco alcuni esempi, in ordine piu o meno cronologico.

Colori sgargianti

Dimensione

Le dimensioni dei computer storici ed in generale dell'hardware erano piu' generose nei sistemi di alcuni anni fa.

Materiali utilizzati

Metallo verniciato a polvere, resina, abs? Plastiche ingiallite? Rack industriali? Involucri misti legno/metallo?

Colori

I sistemi di un tempo spesso sfoggiavano colori sgargianti: azzurro, blu, rosa, rosso, giallo, con diverse combinazioni.

Analisi del pezzo

Quando si sospetta che un pezzo abbia interesse storico o sia di una certa eta', possiamo esaminarlo in base ai seguenti criteri

  • Datazione su etichette esterne: ci sono delle date di collaudo, di scadenza garanzia o altro?
  • Datazione sui chip delle schede interne
