  1. Also @xodium is nearby and you can get a sneak peek of the #PicoIDE

  2. A question to @polpo & experts regarding #picoide:
    I have some old PCs I did not turn on in a looooong time. I have no idea, if the HDDs still work. The picture shows an example HDD from a 486, running DOS and Win 3.11

    Could you direct me to some resources:
    1. How do I create a disk image e.g. from this drive, which can be emulated with #picoide ?
    2. is there some possibility of a "standalone HDD dumping mode", where an HDD is directly connected to a #picoide to have a direct image creation?

  3. We now have 3000 members in our Open Retro Storage discord! We discuss open retro storage solutions like #bluescsi, #piscsi and #picoide.

    Can remember years ago when it was just 10 or so people, my how retro has grown.

  4. There’s only one #PicoIDE in this computer… I got dual device support working this weekend! That means everyone who backed PicoIDE on Crowd Supply will be getting a bit of a bonus when they finally get theirs! I’ll be releasing a campaign update soon with the latest status on manufacturing.

  5. @gloriouscow If you're making a whole ISA card, then you're overlapping with #PicoMEM, #PicoGUS, and #PicoIDE which could be a good place to steal from / ask about!

  6. Dimming the screen for the screen saver on #PicoIDE was boring so I added flying toasters as an option. Sprites borrowed from the PicoPOST project

  7. Picked up shiny #PicoIDE stickers at Sticker Giant!

  8. Just because I’m deep in getting #PicoIDE into production doesn’t mean that #PicoGUS is standing still. Delphius and wbcbz7 are in the middle of implementing some pretty awesome things (and on the original RP2040 hardware)! Keep your eyes peeled 👀

  9. The PicoIDE is a new open source CD/DVD & HD emulator for vintage IDE/ATA computers. Let's see how it works in some Macs! 🍎 (...and PCs too)

  10. As the #PicoIDE campaign on Crowd Supply enters its final hours (crowdsupply.com/polpotronics/p), @ctrlaltrees has come out with a fantastic video all about the PicoIDE! And wow it looks good in that baby AT case. youtube.com/watch?v=MG_t0Ti3_rY

  11. LGR has a video out covering my #PicoIDE project and the ZuluIDE. We are officially in a awesome new era of drive emulators!

  12. FINALLY found my Pantone books. Now I can dial in the final color match for the #PicoIDE enclosure and buttons. I’m thinking of a darker beige for the buttons for some contrast, since a perfect match is basically impossible due to different materials.

  13. New update on the Crowd Supply #PicoIDE campaign, all about how important my beta testers have been in making it work: crowdsupply.com/polpotronics/p

  14. Lilbits: MSI Cubi mini PC with Intel Panther Lake, LineageOS 23.2, and an open source IDE/ATAPI drive emulator

    During CES, MSI unveiled the Cubi NUC AI+ 3MG mini PC with support for up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 Panther Lake processor. Now the company has started teasing an impending launch, promising to deliver a little computer with support for up to four displays, dual 2.5 Gigabit network ports, and AI capabilities, among other things.

    One thing to know is that these little computers will not feature […]

  15. PicoIDE is an open source device that lets you use a microSD card reader with old-school computers instead of an IDE hard drive, CD-ROM, or floppy disk drive. There's also a Deluxe model with an OLED display and WiFi support. Crowdfunding now for $69 - $110. cnx-software.com/2026/02/02/pi

  17. In concert with the #PicoIDE campaign launching at Crowd Supply, I have released the PicoIDE documentation so you can preview how you can use the device in detail: picoide.com/docs/

  18. The #PicoIDE Crowd Supply campaign is now live! Back the project to be among the first to get yours! PicoIDE is an open IDE/ATAPI drive emulator for retro systems. crowdsupply.com/polpotronics/p

  19. Finishing things up for #PicoIDE and it just about saturates the IDE bus in MWDMA mode 2. I’m pretty happy with this! It tests as fast as a 74x CD-rom drive which means there’s a bit more headroom in that mode but that could be the CPU on this K6-2 system being a bottleneck.

  20. After staying up way too late last night refactoring IOR to be ~65% faster, #PicoIDE is now booting the Performa 630 on its famously cursed IDE interface

  21. RE: hachyderm.io/@BlueSCSI/1158280

    Also in this announcement - the front panel and WiFi interface developed for #PicoIDE is also coming to BlueSCSI!

  22. Looking into replacing the optical drives in some of my vintage PCs with emulators. Considering my main use case will be CD images which may have redbook tracks and/or copy protection, should I...
