En 1986, l'informatique continue d’évoluer avec l'apparition du 386, l'informatique dans les foyers, le #minitel, le début des IA et des simulations...

Je remercie les donateur sur la video sur 1985 qui m'ont permis de continuer les videos malgre les soucis que j'ai actuellement.
Merci a https://abandonware-magazines.org , https://acpc.me/ https://archive.org/ et http://empichon72.free.fr qui m'ont permis de trouver la plupart des informations et capture trouvée pour cette vidéos.
Les émulateurs utilisé lors des capture sont Caprice, Pcem, Pcjs et DCmoto.

Minitel Terminal Becomes Mini Laptop

image

A French Minitel terminal becomes a Raspberry Pi-powered mini laptop.

In 1980, France took a step into the future when the telecom companies introduced the Minitel system -- a precursor to the Web where users could shop, buy train tickets, check stocks, and send and receive electronic mail through a small terminal. Minitel still had 10 million monthly connections in 2009, but the service was discontinued in 2012.

The keyboard of a French Minitel terminal is wired up to an Arduino Pro Micro.So, you can imagine how many Minitel terminals must be floating around at this point. [Gautchh] picked one up at a garage sale a while back and converted it into a battery-powered laptop for taking notes in class. Luckily for us, [Gautchh] recently open-sourced this project and has given us a wiring diagram, STLs, BOM, and a good look into the build process.

[Gautchh] started by gutting the Minitel, but saved the power button and the très chic power indicator that looks like a AA cell. The new 10.4″ LCD screen is held in place with four 3D-printed corner blocks and a bit of hot glue, and the original keyboard (which we'd love to clack on) is now wired up to an Arduino Pro Micro. The main brain -- a Raspberry Pi 3B -- is easily accessible through a handy little hatch in the back. Well, it looks like we've got a new ebay alert to set up.

In the mood for more AZERTY goodness? Check out this gallery of French computers, or a more traditional take on a Minitel with a Raspberry Pi.

Unicode support for retro computer character sets - Is this finally happening? :o https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2019/19025-terminals-prop.pdf

I've dreamt of this for decades! I mean, Unicode gave us U+1F4A9 (PILE OF POO) but still could not represent valid C64 filenames...

Whereas some platforms have had unofficial mappings in the Unicode custom area (such as PETSCII: http://www.df.lth.se/~triad/krad/recode/petscii.html) support has been limited and sometimes competing with other custom mappings. This is a huge deal for preserving content in a portable fashion for the future, and even for tooling and accessories still being built for our beloved retro machines.
