  1. New #Insentricity post: Using a #FujiNet as a pseudo "#MIDI" controller to send #OSC messages to a #TRS80 CoCo 2! It was great being inspired to do something with my CoCo 2 and get it off the shelf. Learned a lot about the internals and it wasn't what I expected at all. Already have more idea brewing based on my discoveries!

  2. New #Insentricity post: Getting #Linux to boot on a Toshiba T5200, a 386 luggable with only 4MB of RAM. Linux doesn’t love being this RAM-starved, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done. The biggest challenge? Compatibility: LOADLIN’s supposed bzImage support and getting Linux to work with my impossibly large (for the period) hard drive.

  3. New #Insentricity post: Transforming Apple Internet Router into a Linux daemon.

    It took until the middle of April, but with the help of several people I was able to put together a Docker container image that can be used as a sort of Apple Internet Router daemon. The config can be passed in entirely from outside the container and no pointy/clicky is required inside the emulated Macintosh.

  4. New #Insentricity post! Repairing a Legend Industries 1MB RAM card for an #AppleII. I was overwhelmed when I got it, since I had no schematic and all the ICs tested good off the board. It was quite a journey but I was able to figure it out and learned a lot while doing it. First time I've ever reverse engineered a PCB.
