Surfing the #internet at blazing 9600 baud with my #homebrew #wifi #serial modem! Finally with a proper db9 to db25 adapter instead of janky jumper wires.
Also, I'm running on #batteries !

Trying to boot #elks #linux on my 8088 #portable #computer with 640k ram and 720k #floppydisk ( #amstrad #ppc640 )

My #Amstrad #ppc640 has an old-style 25 pin #rs232 port. Unfortunately yesterday I couldn't source a #db9 to #db25 #serial adapter, so I had to...ehm...improvise 😅
