I was looking for something on the internet and discovered this interesting article.

It appears someone in the distant past used a Vic-20 to assist with open heart surgery!
I think the document has details on how to build one.......
WOW!

Wow! Somebody did a master's thesis based on a VIC-20.
Very complete with all code and schematics required.

I have seen more than one C64/SX-64 modified for use in a medical/research setting in the past
Re: DESIGN OF A MICROCOMPUTER-BASED OPEN HEART SURGERY PATIENT MONITOR
I would like to see a picture if one exists of this device.
I am reminded by the picture of the C64c in a Polish auto shop still going strong used to balance car tires.
There must be other amazing time capsule photos of Commodore computers doing amazing things out there.
I know that 2 C64's I purchased from the same eBay seller came with terminal strips screwed right to the back above the user port. He had more for sale. All junkers.....
Wires were just soldered straight to the userport gold pins.
My only guess was it was used in some commercial application in the past.
It would be great to see a post with all the things these machines were capable of.
