@48kRAM fixed - https://github.com/hoglet67/RGBtoHDMI/issues/380 #retrocomputing #RGBtoHDMI


Anyone used an MCEtoHDMI? It’s the new version of the MCEtoVGA but is basically a RGBtoHDMI. I accidentally ordered just the board rather than ordering the full kit. Got the Pi 3A+ today and downloaded the image from GitHub which it recommends. However when it boots I’m getting 4 long 7 short flashes which indicates it’s not reading the SD correctly as it’s suggesting two files are not being read but I’m at a loss as to why! Any tips? Brain dead. #retrocomputing #RGBtoHDMI


Well, things are taking a potential turn. If anyone in the UK has £6k and can get a van to Basingstoke then they can come and pick up the contents of NerdHaven. It contains a whole bunch of #RetroGaming #RetroComputing systems, accessories and games including a pile of boxes PC Engine consoles, the whole of the PC Engine Volume collection and every Super Cassette Vision and Cassette vision game. Plus computers, tools and spares


Found a backup on cd from a long time ago filled with Amiga warez

Another post about #Apple #Powerbook G4 12" events from ~20 years ago.

#Hacking #wifi a late November evening of 2005. With a "larger" antenna and standing on a mountain to the north of the city.

I used an antenna made for point to point "broadband" connections.
A bit on the larger size than the popular "pringles cantennas" people used to make.

(Funny to think about that I ended up with a work in Cybersecurity a few years later)

New video! I'm starting to restore a very interesting Apple Macintosh Performa 630 in the DOS Compatible variant. It has both a 68040 Mac and an IBM compatible 486 PC in one machine. In the first episode of this series, I try to make it safe to run by replacing capacitors on the main board and in the power supply. More to come!

New video!

Love or hate it, the Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh is a bold computer with a fascinating story.

To celebrate my 1st birthday, I take a deeper look my 1st video subject. I wrote a love-letter to the machine I couldn't afford for 25 years, and then attempt to (mostly) restore it.

Have a watch here:

I learnt assembly on a TRS-80 model 100 back in the day, so I started collecting slabtops. One thing lead to another, and I may have gone a bit overboard…

Anyway, I finally got a Kyotronic 85 (the one that the model 100, the m10 and the pc-8201 were derived from) today, so I pulled them out of a family picture!

So, what is *your* favorite? Bonus: can you spot the intruder?
