  1. My #AppleLisaClone has a new front panel! I got one of the new Lisa 1+2 hybrid panels from Mac Effects, courtesy of @Recta_Pete

    I moved the iPad LCD panel over to it and added some custom 3D printed CRT bezel gap fillers to fit the curve.

  6. Lunchtime #Apple2 fun - fitted a Europlus with a PAL coder card. The video wire had broken off, so I replaced it. Now I have colour! #retrocomping

  8. Anyone in Japan, especially in the Tokyo area, have a Mac SE/30 they're willing to part with? #macse30 #retrocomping

  9. I'm really inspired by people making old games that actually run in dos. My game is really only restricted by the palette and resolution and it's otherwise a modern engine.

    I guess my hope is that I use the extra power for meaningful features that wouldn't be possible on old hardware rather than just wasting it on modern computing bloat. Stuff like the goal-based npc behavior planning and world simulation.

  11. Finally found a reasonably priced copy of Steve Cartwright's "Hacker" for the Commodore 64.

    Have no intention of playing it (don't even have the hardware), just love this cover. Planning on framing it and hanging it up in my office.

  13. I think it’s time to let go of some #retrocomping kit.. would anyone be interested in an Apple ][, Monitor ///, 2xDrive ][s, quite a few cards, including Microsoft Z80 SoftCard, EPROM Programmer & many books? Won’t split, in Kent, England; could deliver in-area.. Would any computing museum be interested? Worked last time I used it, will probably need electrolytic capacitors replacing. I’d appreciate a boost, thanks!
