Nice to know some people still use Commodore computers for scientific experiments.

About 2 months ago, I visited a small fabric shop which still use a Commodore 128 running a homemade program for their day to day operations.

I was quite stunned to see a an 8 bit Commodore computer still used in a business.

No pictures of the rats? Or the professor, or the students?

I'll bet the rats would chew through those wires in seconds!

I visited during the summer break... few students around, many of the rooms closed, many professors gone. Professor Dess let us in late in the day. Obviously, the rats were not in the chambers (on holiday?)

The rats would be "restrained" inside the chamber, the wires on the left harnessed to their bodies.

In C64 mode or in C128 mode?

Ooo, the Commodore fabric program,
