  3. Check out the EconoPET 40/8096 Rev. A, an #opensource replacement/upgrade board for your #Commodore PET.

    If you don't have a PET, it can also be used as a stand-alone.

  5. @Salty @mos_8502 That beast there was the ICL One Per Desk, which Telstra (then Telecom Australia) and Telecom NZ distributed under the Computerphone brand:

    https://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/4938/ICL-OPD/

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Per_Desk

    It was based on the Sinclair QL, but from memory it used different firmware, so it wasn't fully compatible.

  7. Welcome to Mastodon to @stevanikof !

    He's an Ireland-based #retrocomputer and #retroconsole repair and upgrade genius.

    He's done quality work for me, installing an INCOGNITO board in my original #Atari800, and bringing an #AtariSTfm back to life.

    Stevanikof planted the seed that I, too, could learn and get hands-on with vintage electronics.

  11. Me faltaba probar la SVI-728 con el módem wifi y Retroterm. ¡Funciona perfecto! Tiene un teclado robusto pero demasiado tosco (me parece mejor el de la SVI-738 X'press) pero la calidad de video es muy buena, incluso mejor que otras máquinas MSX1.

  12. Well, here is a text editor that *does* work on the Tandy 1000!

    Calvin 2.4, previously "free vi", for 8088+ msdos. Or as the man page calls it, MS-Dog. 😉

    I don't have a lot to say here, it's a classic vi clone. This is a very love it or hate it thing. Seems like it understands the T1000 keyboard, which is useful to me.

    Full source is available.

  14. So, to get the 8086 version of the Aurora text editor, unzip auror30c.zip, then unzip aur86_30c.zip on top of it.

    Run a86. This is an installer and compiler to build the editor for your machine. This takes a long time on an 8088....

    After installing, run a.exe....

    And discover it just hangs forever on a Tandy 1000. 😭

    I was hoping to show off another text editor but I guess not...

  16. Home Computer Setup #1: AMSTRAD CPC 464 ❤️🕹

    Así quedó el setup de mi primera Amstrad, la CPC 464. Carga de juegos gracias al Maxduino de Diego De Franceschi, cable RGB-Scart y mod de audio gracias a Pablo Marcos. El setup se completa con un joystick 125, el libro de Atila Merino "Amstrad Eterno" y el artículo de tapa de Retro Gamer por los 40 años de la Amstrad CPC. 😍

  17. I added some Voltage Regulator stuff, and after trying to source components last night, some more transistor equivalents to Electronics Reference.

    It’s an app that should be of particular use by #retrocomputer enthusiasts.

    Please try the beta and lemme know.

  19. Folks, it's time to stop being Luddites.

    The fact is the future of technology is here.

    If you don't get on board, you will be left behind.

    It really is inevitable.

    Look, I know some of you have questions about computer-generated images, audio, and video.

    Some even say it will put artists out of work. Or replace books.

    But that's just the way of the world now.

    We live in the age of convergence, driven by interactive multimedia on CD-ROM.

    It's just a matter of time before there's a CDi or CDTV hooked up to every TV screen in the world.

  20. Vendre un ordinateur sans écran, sans stockage et avec un clavier mou ? C'était pas du génie marketing, c'était le Laser 200.

    As-tu connu ?
