I was just listening to ATP Podcast, June 30 eposide, "And Do What?" (I'm a little behind in my listening).
The title is taken from the "Ask ATP" section of the show where someone wrote in asking what three vintage computers the hosts would like, if offered.
Responses were mixed, but early Macs and iOS devices were the main units discussed (and Casey's ThinkPads). Also discussed are those who just collect as an end in itself, and those who actually use these old systems. Getting them online was a big question for Marco.
I know I'm a little older than John, but I was surprised that no Apple II, C64, Atari 8-bits, etc. were mentioned, and I'm looking mainly at Marco who had the most to say about setting them up "and do what" then. How do you get programs onto these pre-internet computers?
I wanted to point out that there are a great many modern devices that make vintage computing much more approachable than the uninitiated may be aware of. I am the sort of collector that is primarily interested in using these systems, once acquired, and I have a room full of them -- most older than the systems discussed in the episode:
https://www.bytecellar.com/photo_pano.html
For most of my floppy-based systems, I've added various flash-based floppy disk emulation hardware and HD/large volume emulation hardware for others. Apple IIe, IIgs, TI-99/4A, Atari 8-bit, Atari ST, my Amigas, NeXTstation, DOS 486, Tandy 1000, etc. As well, a few "WiFi modems" (serial to WiFi using ESP32 tech) get passed around to let them connect to my modern systems or the internet directly. There's a great deal of modern, enabling hardware for those in the hobby.
I use these systems quite often. None are my daily drivers, but one or two is usually on, doing something, on any given day. I'm not browsing the web on these, but demos, games, chat clients, data (tracker mods, video, etc.) streaming -- there's even a Mastodon client running on my 5x86 that actually does the TLS locally and supports image attachments.
There's a lot you can do with systems rather older than those discussed on the show, I'm here to say. :-)

The #Gotek floppy emulator has also arrived, pretty nice lunchbreak
-
Finally convinced myself to buy a #gotek so I can emulate these dreaded HP floppy drives before my Sony MP-F52W-30 gives out.
Will be an interesting exercise to get the config going with #flashfloppy

Do it yourself:
The "Amiga-external-3x-FDD" adapter allows you to connect up to three external floppy drives, of which one can also be emulated (Gotek SFR1M44-U100 or SFR1M44-U100K). Both unmodified 1.44 MB PC 3.5" drives and those that have already been adapted for the Amiga can be used. -

Had a fun weekend getting stuck into my trash picked #retro PC.
It is running, BIOS updated and some OS's installed (inc #FreeDOS). CPU/RAM upgrades in the post.
Everything mostly working, but I can't test the floppy (I've no disks) and I have yet to test the SB Audigy SE sound card. But the MB LAN connector appears faulty - a connected cable causes the PC to turn off if it is used.
CPU: Pentium D 925 3GHz
RAM: 2GB
HDD: 250GBAnd my #Gotek drive was essential!
Spinrite checks in progress 🤞

Retrofitted an OLED screen into my external Gotek drive and very happy with it. It costed like 4 euros and was much easier to do than I expected. Just cut some plastic spacers inside with a scalpel, hold the screen in place with a double sided tape and plug in the cables. #amiga #RetroComputing #gotek

I may service it (the encoder wheel has become useless and some buttons do not work) and install a #Gotek disk emulator. The sequencer is quite capable and I can split the keyboard in multiple sections or layers routed to multiple MIDI outputs. It’s a very competent machine that can definitely become the center of some #DAWless sessions. #music

Following the first two parts (amiga-news.de reported), South Tyrolean Domingo Fivoli shows how to configure and use the Gotek drive in the third part of his series.

I could manage to use the #Gotek on my #Amiga 500. With the External Floppy Interface it has to be configured as for the IBM-PC. I recently received some bright green filament and I 3D-printed an enclosure for it. I like the result even if it is slightly bigger than what needed. I have to print some TPU feet for it. It looks good on top of my computer 😍 #retrocomputing #3dprinting

As basically an Amiga newbie, I'm having some difficulty connecting a #Gotek SFRKC30.AT4.35 to my #Amiga 500 using an External Floppy Interface (EFI). I used the latter for a while with an ordinary PC disk drive and it worked fine, but now I cannot configure it and the Gotek to read something. Firmware version is FlashFloppy 3.42. The best I can obtain is a disk I cannot open on Werkbench. #Retrocomputing #AmigaNewbie

Versuche gerade meinen #CPC664 mit einem #Gotek #Floppy #Emulator auszustatten. Habe die letzten paar Tage deshalb fleißig #FreeCAD genutzt und eine Halterung entworfen.
