Today's pickups at the #fleamarket: an old breadbin #C64, plus #c1541 drive, IEC cables and a box of 5.25" #floppies, on the left another phat #playstation2 ("doesn't work" the seller said: will check what he meant later), on the right an Hitex HT-767 #famiclone (one with discrete chips inside!) plus a Kickle Cubicle #nes cartridge.
And one of my cats exploring: Cenerina. -
I spent a lot of time crimping IDC cables today to finish building my boards. One adapter for the PC-8001 to use floppy drives, and another for the Sanyo MBC-555 to speak RS-232.
Both these boards are going to be open source: let me know if you have either of these machines and I'll send you a spare board if these end up working out when I test them.
