  1. 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.

  6. 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...

  11. 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 de 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. 😍

  13. 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 enthusiasts.

    Please try the beta and lemme know.

  18. Okay, I swear to you this video is unaltered and there is no SSD in this computer. Honest to goodness… I have never seen a Pentium III computer boot this fast. #oldcomputer #windowsme #pentiumiii #pentium3 #retrocomputer #crt
