I know it looks complicated, but on the plus side you're never more than two clicks away from brining up a karaoke version of the HMS Pinafore.

I am more interested in that round, phsychodelic display going on there.

I'm pretty sure one of them means that gravity is down to point 8.

Well the black and white round one is the LSD monitor.
Once it starts looking normal the Dr would come around and give you another dose The one closest (on right)/is the mesnstural monitor for all the lady's fresh out of the academy. |

If you didn't spend 4 years at the Starfleet Academy, the answers will mean nothing to you.

TRIBBLES DETECTOR - (Polygeminus grex) are small, non-intelligent lifeforms originating from Iota Geminorum IV View Quote "The Tribble" is actually a hyper intelligent hive mind. The individual "drones" (little purring balls of fluff) are intelligence units, sent out to scout the sector for new planets to conquer. Only the Klingons have an instinct to detect the true nature of the Tribble. Luckily, they sterilized the Tribble home planet with a dozen battlecruisers. |

Those are all female logic and emotion display lights and buttons.
Then you have Mr Spock's one little blue light with a twisty knob contraption for the men. |

I helped build a 1:1 simulator of the enterprise bridge.
Soon as I get my shop situated, I'm building replicas of those panels to sell on ebay. I've already got the legends completed for the prototype. Which panel you wanna know more about? LOL |

Some of the first big computer systems and tons of blinking light all over them. These lights mush have meant something to the engineers that built them. Probably bus activity which could be used to see if something was going wrong.
I guess ST set designers figured this would be the case in the distant future. LOL they were so far off it's not even funny! I remember in the 90's watching "ST The Next Generation" cracking jokes with my college buddies about how many Gigahertz the Enterprise computers must run at. |

Well, the 386 was a hell of a long way off when the original STS systems were being developed in the 70's, or even the testing and launches of the early 80's... I would guess there are a lot of military grade hardened Z80's or 8086's which would have been the common microprocessors of the time.. This link indicates they used the 8086. No idea if the back end systems were upgraded when they created the semi-glass cockpit. I'd guess it was more likely just instrument upgrades interfacing with the original system. |
