如果把computer-museum-dnbwg放进候选清单，不能只看热度；它的定位是电脑博物馆 - compumuseum.com。一旦进入日常自动化环节，输入边界、依赖和失败处理如果不清楚就很难稳定复用会直接影响交付，这也是我最关心的风险。我建议用一项范围明确的真实任务完成最小试跑，重点记录配置时间、输出质量、异常信息和维护痕迹，再与现有方案比较。它对愿意先做小范围验证并复查原始文档的团队更有价值，但正式采用前仍要复查许可证、近期提交和问题区回应。

The Story

I was live in Canada between 2009~2019 and I've visited several retro-computing and retro-game related events, for example Vintage Computer Fest Northwest in Seattle. But the same time I found (until 2016) there are almost no discussion about retro-computing in Chinese community, there are only (investor) collectors, but no makers, no researchers. There are a small group of retro-gamers, but they only have Famiclones.

I believe Chinese community has its own heritage in digital age. Apple II clones and Vtech Laser 310 was somewhat popular in 80s, the electronic dictionary was a popular mobile gaming platform (check the jgvm and bbk.emu). I want to gathering Chinese retro-computing community and inspiring them to find their own digital heritage.

First, I started the column in Zhihu a Chinese Q&A website like Quora, this column is not focused on technical details but culture, I want to show the richness of retro-computing, demoscene and chip music communities in the (western) world. These communities are (still) not existing in China.

However, when I’m trying to discuss about some most popular 8-bit computer models, for example Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum, few Chinese had used them and know their features. The strangeness of the most important computer platforms makes Chinese media scholars (even many of them are working in universities) can’t understanding many digital media phenomena.

That’s the origin of this website, this is a media archeology lab designed for Chinese readers, both hobbyists and researchers. The website uses online emulators to reduce the complexity of configuring emulators, and demonstrated some preserved Chinese digital heritage, for example the Paradise BBS of CFido.

That’s why I write this website in Chinese, It’s the igniter of the retro-computing community in China, as well as an online laboratory to teach Chinese community and scholars how to research and preserve and demonstrate their digital heritage.

The Internet Archive have a huge collection for online emulators. Sadly it's blocked in China mainland, my website is also the most convenient way to reach some of these materials.
