There's a couple of Minitels, which is very nice - when I lived in France in the mid-80s I did see a few of them.

Un nouveau Minitel dans ma collection :
Un Matra TTE 510
Ce n'est pas un modèle ordinaire car il fait partie de ceux diffusés en 1981/82 lors de l'expérimentation du Minitel en Ille-et-Vilaine.

Vu qu'il s'agit un Minitel d'avant la diffusion officielle, différents des vrais premiers modèles diffusés au niveau national et probablement avec pas toutes les fonctionnalités appliquées au standard "Minitel 1", est-ce qu'on pourrait parler de "Minitel 0" ?

Everything else has FTPed over to the Minitel/PiDP8i evening stereo without any trouble apart from Floral Shoppe. A problem with the Japanese characters? I've moved a tonne of City Pop over without any issues.

Finally moved it physically with a USB drive. We might have expected this from Vektroid.

Makes no difference to how it looks, but I upgraded the microSD that the PiDP8/i runs on from 32GB to 256GB, which gives it some decent storage capacity in its main role as the evening stereo system.

FTPing music from my main desk PC seems to work pretty well. It's almost like a feasible solution.

En faisant l’inventaire de mes Minitels, je me suis rendu compte qu’un de mes Télic-Alcatel avait une plaque en métal engravée plutôt qu’une étiquette. C’est honnêtement très stylé.

Okay, I had to bounce this off my website and though a Pi to make it work, but here I am, or at least my spectacles, on the Minitel screen.

C’est cool de voir venir pas mal de visite sur mon serveur Minitel ces temps-ci

@ileglaz en 1985, un #Minitel consommait 40W…

Vu le tarif du 3615 (1F la minute) il n’était toutefois pas allumé pendant des heures, sauf exception.

This morning's magic trick is that I can now read my emails on the Minitel 1. Everyone will be doing this in the year 2000.

Okay, a little more work on getting my head around cmus and this might be the most perfect audioplayer setup. I mean, better than Winamp even. Without a WIMPS interface it'd be clumsy to add new tracks to this, so we just add them on a USB stick as needed.

Just makes you a bit more mindful about the process of listening to music.

I don’t go to brocantes here often enough, but at the local monthly one today I spied some vintage tech: A Vectrex vector graphics gaming console from 1981 and an old Minitel terminal.
