Description: The Aquarius Home Computer was designed by Radofin Electronics and released in June 1983. Based on the Zilog Z80 processor, the PC was self-contained in an oversized keyboard with 4 KB of RAM, and a subset of BASIC in ROM. It connected to a TV set for AV output, and used a cassette tape recorder for secondary data storage. A limited number of peripherals, such as a 40-column printer, a 4-color plotter, and a 300-baud modem, were released. Although less expensive than the TI-99/4A and VIC-20 computers it competed against, the Aquarius was less attractive due to its weak graphics and limited memory. The Aquarius was discontinued just a few months after it was launched giving it one of the shortest lifespans of any personal computer.
Description: With a technical, pen-and-ink style, drawn freehand in blue, the illustration captures the complexity and industrial nature of a classic computer setup. The monitor, stacked CPU units, peripherals, and keyboard are rendered with incredible precision, while a dense, almost chaotic network of cables and connectors snakes through them. The title, "Analog Chaos System," perfectly reflects the overwhelming architectural complexity and intricate hand-drawn details that give this early technology a captivating, mechanical presence, often lacking in sleek, modern design.
Description: Elephant Memory Systems (EMS) was a popular brand of floppy disk media produced by Leading Edge in the '80s. The name for the product was derived because of the common folk wisdom that an elephant never forgets. Elephant was founded in 1980. The brand was originally devised as an inexpensive, mass-market product, and its imposing pachyderm logo paired with bright yellow packaging, which was in stark contrast of the more conservative silvers and blues used by competitors. Investors feared this would undermine the credibility of the product, however, Elephant would become viewed as a premium product, eventually becoming one of the highest-margin floppies on the market and one of the best-selling media brands in history.
