4:03 I worked in automation for steel mills for a few years. You don't use any PC to directly control any industrial process. That is what PLCs are for (programmable logic controllers). PCs are often used for SCADA systems (visualizing the state of your process, send commands to your machines, show faults, gather and archive data, communicate with other systems and such stuff)

[@TechMadeEasyUK]

I was hoping someone in the know would chime in and help explain what these are for 😁 that’s really interesting, thank you

[@christianclark1354]

Manufacturing equipment often uses computers like this. E.g Samsung Pick and Place machines and ovens on PCB assembly lines.

[@Zoey3z]

jeez i watched this whole video thinking it had thousands of views and didnt even realise until i scrolled down at the end. Quality video!

[@TechMadeEasyUK]

Comments like this make it all worth it, thank you!

[@MoreFunMakingIt]

Brilliant video and welcome back! DOOOOOOOM! I thought you did really well playing on the vertical keyboard...

[@KeritechElectronics]

Industrial Cacodemons! Nice hack, and I love how the machine is built. Professional electronics does the thing for me.

[@TechMadeEasyUK]

Probably the most solid PC I’ve ever worked on, which is great until you need to dismantle it to look into why the screen isn’t working properly!

[@dazaspc]

I had to sack a guy once for doctoring a PC controlled KUKA robot. He was boerd and installed Quake and ran it in Windows 98. It worked pretty well considering and I was impressed with his skill. However The policy left no room for compromise regarding unauthorised access and modification. He even had it running in tandem with the Robot and was using the pendant.

[@TechMadeEasyUK]

I remember we used to have a small closed network in one of our workshops for building networking devices. Management never suspected that we’d also installed Quake on all of the machines and weee having LAN parties at lunch

[@droganPaul]

Wow, what a machine. Great video

[@andymouse]

Awesome video ! this is a great fun thing to do answering the now age old question "Will it play Doom" Another great channel is 'Buy it Fix it' he did the same thing and installed Doom on a portable ultrasound baby scanner !.....cheers.

[@KeritechElectronics]

We have a '90s or 2000s vintage medical USG at our local hackerspace, and it looks like it runs its proprietary software under DOS. I once opened it up, got to the CRT section no problem, but the control & data processing electronics part seems almost impenetrable. Last time I tried getting in, I failed - I just saw no way in. Keri on, try again...

[@WinXP_SP1]

Nice looking machine.

[@fraggle1340]

Bewdy, spent far too many hours playing Doom, and Wolfenstien before it

This brought back lots of memories. Is there a place to hook up a serial mouse? There are many 74ls parts on these boards. You can imagine what happened in 1974 when the date of manufacture code had a 74 in it.

[@TechMadeEasyUK]

There are two serial ports, one on the SBC and another via a header. I connected a mouse up and it worked a treat with a driver loaded in DOS

[@otter-pro]

I'd use it as a serial terminal on the rack, connected to some servers just in case I need to log in to a server in person in the rack, sort of like a kvm. Or perhaps a terminal (linux or bsd) so that I can run ssh.

[@Veso266]

Would love to see u connect some sensors and some motors to this cards and at least try to make something similar then what this was originaly used for

[@ConnerWithAnE_]

All those old free desktops would be hundreds where I live...

[@TechMadeEasyUK]

Who said it was free?

[@ConnerWithAnE_]

@@TechMadeEasyUK Sorry I meant in the clip of facebook marketplace haha

[@TechMadeEasyUK]

Ah I see! Yeah quite often they’re not really free, they just want you to make an offer

[@ConnerWithAnE_]

@@TechMadeEasyUK ah yes classic. The plague that has taken over marketplace unfortunately

[@LungsMcGee]

Cool. I'm trying to see what I can get going on a late '80s optical time domain reflectometer built around an Intel 8088 machine running DOS 3.1. It has a floppy, a RAM disk and a green CRT, definitely its best feature! It's a portable device (well, luggable) and is laid out internally very similar to your machines.

[@nyteelive]

This video is great 👍🤝

[@TechMadeEasyUK]

This comment is great!

[@metalworksmachineshop]

those are computer units that ran CNC machines, probably from the 80s 90s . most likely a Lathe or Mill. the X Y Z settings would be on a pendant or another panel

[@stevvieb]

Glad you popped up on my KZbin, that was nice and interesting video.

[@TechMadeEasyUK]

Really glad you enjoyed it, that's why I do it :)

[@senseal5462]

For once youtube has recomended me a Good Low view Recently uploaded video. subscribed for more.

[@TechMadeEasyUK]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Jackpkmn]

Rip out the still quite expensive PICMG SBCs grab some quite cheap ATX compatible backpanes and install them in regular desktop cases for dos gaming.

[@kingyachan]

"What do I do with them?" Uuh obviously you start a steel refinery and manufacturing plant

[@TechMadeEasyUK]

😂

[@kingyachan]

@@TechMadeEasyUK or take them to a Lan party I guess

[@TechMadeEasyUK]

These would be great self-contained LAN party machines if I could fit a headphone jack somewhere

[@kingyachan]

@@TechMadeEasyUK doooo it

[@kingyachan]

Good god, until you were standing next to them I assumed these were like a quarter the size they actually are

[@TechMadeEasyUK]

That’s the rub, I’m actually 3 feet tall

[@Garfieldchr]

You need to mount one in that rack of yours to host a retro webserver with FTP. Then just use the screen ad a running statistics for the activity. That would be cool

[@TechMadeEasyUK]

I fear it might actually pull the rack off the wall 😂

[@Garfieldchr]

Just get an unnecessary big floor rack like me 😅

[@austinmaxi]

Over clock it...😁

[@TechMadeEasyUK]

😂

[@davydp]

Gaming PC ie gta v etc.. lol

[@dominikschutz6300]

Put into a rack? 😊

[@TechMadeEasyUK]

There’s always one….

[@sirena7116]

Action retro did this a year ago.

[@TechMadeEasyUK]

That’s cool. Sean did a great job, I really enjoyed his video.

[@JaredConnell]

Simpsons did it!
