Microsoft released an IPv6 Technology Preview for Windows 2000. It works! Management is all done with the command line and you're limited when it comes to support, but it does work! My Compaq Deskpro EN is now talking to the modern IPv6 world.

I could #repair my first #C64. It was mainly a nasty short circuit on the multiplexed address lines on the ram and the VIC-II. I still have to sort out a few details (a CIA misbehaving), but most of the computer is now working and the BASIC V2 prompt shows a blinking cursor. I have a #C128D since 1994, but this is my very first real C64 😍Many thanks to @root42 and @janbeta who patiently gave many key advices. #retrocompuing

Got my youngest, who is in to retro everything, the reissue of the Commodore 64. My first computer come alive again. We’re so excited! https://www.commodore.net #retrocompuing #Commodore64

Does anyone in the UK do old PC stuff? I have a Pentium 166 w/MMX that I can't test, and I thought I'd offer it up to someone for cost of postage since I can't test it. #retrocompuing #intel #retro #pcgaming

3 things I know about Indiana.

I already knew one of their sportsball teams is called Pacers.

I think... One of their archeologists is called Jones?

My #IBM 5155 is finally up and running! There's still a lot to do, but I'm on the right track. It has only 256K of memory, so some older programs I have won't run on it, and I cannot format new floppies. The #DOS 3.3 5 1/4" floppy from the 80s that I found at my parents' house still works. If only today's hardware producers delivered the same quality as they did back then. The manuals from IBM in the 80s can't be compared to the many useless manuals available today. #retrocompuing #computers

In the 80s Susan Kare designed a lot of the icons, fonts, and UI images that drove the operating systems that kicked off the computing revolution.

I think the time has come. I have an old Mac (LC III) that needs the capacitors replaced. I've been practicing my technique on an old main board. I think tomorrow I'll move to the actual board. Wish me luck.

#retrocompuing

hey #retrocompuing nerds, i have a question. do you know of any premade expansion card slot plates that have pass-through for things like vga-to-vga? i'll have an old case and a raspberry pi in it with an hdmi-to-vga cable. i'd like to have the monitor plug in into the back of the case rather than having a dangling cable snaking in, ya know? oh, also, any psu-to-usb converters?

Finally, after 20 years of search I found a #commodorepet at the #fleamarket, and complete with an 8050 #floppydrive unit too!

The seller reports a dead PSU within the main unit, but it sold for so little that I couldn't not take the risk. #retrocompuing #commodore

So for those who were foolish enough to ask, the strip down of the A4 laptop is live: https://youtu.be/TiGD95iSmyM

Part 2. You can see the cold solder joint that took me a few hours to find. You can also see the blown PS cap I had to replace. #retrocompuing #retro #tandy

More on Lisa! At VCF East 2021, Jason Perkins gave an in-depth demo of the Apple Lisa, and for the 40th Anniversary he's put together a new recording showing how it was designed to be used with great video and audio quality:

I recently got a #BlueSCSI kit. Are there any good _non-video_ instructions on how to assemble one? Is it a similar process for all BlueSCSI devices? #retrocompuing

#retrocompuing session!

its here!

had to remove the screw thingies to plug in to the ST... which are all that holds the outer shield on 🙃

oh well, might have to glue it on?

connected to Level 29, as is tradition

the wifi modem won't connect to the house wireless for some reason, so i connected it to my phone

that's right, this 520ST has 5G wireless connectivity!

@ahto i use Thortsten Otto's gcc toolchain on a raspi 4 as i find amusement in using modern compilers to target old systems as if they were embedded systems 🙃

i can rapidly test software using hatari's GEMDOS drive emulation

to write disks to run on real hardware i've got a bondi blue iMac era TEAC FD-05PU USB floppy drive 😁
