159 – Analog Computers


Listen Later

This episode is about analog computers, which are computers that compute using a physical model of a real system, often using analog electronic devices. Our guest is Bernd Ulmann who runs the Analog Computer Museum near Wiesbaden, Germany.

We close the episode with a short discussion of the VAX and the AN/FSQ-7, both computer systems near and dear to Bernd.
