  1. @thelastpsion Preparing already for #RetroFest? But that's month away... oh wait...
    Damn! I need to start making up some #RC2014 stock already!

  2. I've started to put together a slideshow that will be playing at my table at #RetroFest. Here are early drafts of a few slides.

  3. 45 days until #RetroFest 2026 in Swindon. #PERQ status:

    • Flaky Z80-based I/O subsystem: sometimes the #Z80 jumps off the tracks and executes nonsense code
    • Disk boots fail: the microcode attempts to load blocks far beyond the end of the disk

    Trying today: DIY diagnostic microcode

  4. I'm booked in for #RetrofestSwindon 2026! Can't wait!

    It's also another chance to visit the fantastic Museum of Computing.

    I'll fly into Bristol and take the train. I'm looking forward to it!
