VEF ТА-12. Оживляем раритетный телефон с АОН
Приветствую всех!
Пожалуй, этот девайс стал одним из самых запоминающихся артефактов проводной телефонии. Именно на базе этого телефона было создано немалое количество определителей номера на процессорах КР580ВМ80А и Z80.
Так уж получилось, что ко мне в руки попал такой АОН. Как насчёт посмотреть, как он устроен, и вернуть его к жизни? Именно этим мы сейчас и займёмся.

Name that Ware September 2025
The Ware for September 2025 is shown below.
Thanks to Michael Dwyer for submitting this ware! I originally contemplated only showing the digital board to make the ware more challenging, but the analog part is so chaotically gorgeous I had to share it out of the aesthetic appreciation.
Despite the size and complexity of the system, there is no CPU. There was a day and age where it was fairly common to design systems without one. In many cases, a ROM-based FSM was more economical, offering better performance and consistent timing. This gave them an edge over MCUs when the flexibility afforded...
