  1. Ho effettuato qualche test sommario sull' #apple #macintosh #512kb e relativo floppy da #400k oggi al mercatino del sabato per cinquanta euro ... Sia il floppy drive interno che esterno sono da 400k ed al momento hanno dei problemi di funzionamento di tipo meccanico... (Dovrei poterli risolvere smontandoli completamente ed effettuando un recap... La macchina pare comunque funzionare ....vi terrò aggiornati #retrogaming #RetroComputig #retrocomputer

  2. Oggi al mercatino del sabato sono stato parecchio fortunato.. per cinquanta euro ho preso un #apple #macintosh #512kb e relativo floppy da #400k ... Un pezzo decisamente raro anche se non proprio in condizioni ottimali e senza mouse e tastiera ... Tutto sommato direi che è stato un ottimo affare ... #retrogaming #RetroComputig #retrocomputer

  3. @mcc rasterbars! You know what rasterbars are?
    In the good old times of #C64 and #AtariST, programmers put background color changes into the code to see which code path was taken.
    This resulted in a blurry mess of horizontal colored stripes.
    Programmes could easily determine if the code they wrote was the one running. And also see if it was in the right sequence. And do profiling of the cpu usage. All this with a simple color toggle. #RetroComputig

  4. It's easy to forget just how huge 68000s in DIP format are. There are a couple of tubes of these 8 MHz parts at A1 in Etobicoke. As ever, the price will be highly dependent on how amusing your haggling skills are.

  9. the board — if anyone cares — is a ParPortProp — retrobrewcomputers.org/doku.ph
    It adds VGA output, SD card storage and PS/2 keyboard support to certain Z80-based systems. It uses a Parallax P8X32A Propeller to generate the video.

    I have a Zeta 2 Z80 machine that I'm upgrading to work with this board. I've also got a Gotek to replace the computer's rather dodgy floppy disk drive

  10. #retrogaming #RetroComputig oggi gran colpo di fortuna all'isola ecologica in mezzo ad una pila di merda ho trovato un #commodore #Vic20 cr con la tastiera eurostile ...

  11. The good old times where computers came with a manual which also explained how the mouse works.
