Very impressive layout there with lots of equipment to play with. Cool 😎! Also, I think I see a Verbatim 8 inch floppy disk. Technology through the years. 😃

it is a CP/M Disk with Fortran and Word Star

CP/M Disk? Gotta love it. When I was fairly new to the work force, I was working at a small company and we were looking for our first computer. Our OS options were CP/M or DOS (might have been PC DOS, I can't remember) We decided to go with CP/M because that DOS this was new and no doubt just a passing phase. - A clear example of any chance I'd have of becoming a successful gambler.

On a different note, is that a Linksys router to the right on the upper shelf? It looks like a fairly old one.

It is indeed a WRT1900ACS (Bought it - in 2020 - because it runs on linux) - it was kind of a let down when I git it - it kept locking up until I dropped OpenWRT on it. Never since then. Heck I still have 2 WRT54GL's in the basement I keep for emergencies! Those suckers run forever.

I've used a number of old Linksys routers in the past with aftermarket firmware for various projects. Kind of their superpower - usually better than the stock setup. Although 2020, it's younger than I thought but I haven't touched one in years. I like your setup overall.
