  3. PROTECTING THE RIGHT TO REPAIR

    The first computer in my house was a Tandy 1000. It was made by RadioShack and it was the coolest thing I had ever seen. Sure, it was not much to look at with its light brown plastic case and monochrome screen. I am pretty sure my calculator from middle school has more processing power. The laptop I am typing on right now is basically a supercomputer when put up against that Tandy, but it […]

  8. no beep tho

    back in the day 12v was mostly for disk motors, audio amps and serial

    if ur only running modern flash media a lot of need for 12v goes away

    and a trick i'm discovering is you may not actually need 12v for the audio amp, it might limit the maximum volume but jumper 5v over and we indeed get a beep out it 🫡

    ...well now i need a damn PC XT keyboard 😩

  13. but never mind that lets see if she chooches

    info on the 1000 RL is hard to come by, squinting at trickster's old photos, starting from the back there's two 5v wires, two grounds, +12v and probably -12v?

    lets feed it 5v off the bench supply and YEAH WE GOT DESKMATE BABY! 😎

  18. 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.

  23. 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...

  33. New video: TND232 Tandy Serial Port Soundcard

    The Tandy 1000 and IBM PC Jr utilized the cheap Texas Instriuments SN76489 programmable sound generator. While it never caught on as a sound standard outside of these machines, many DOS games from the 1980s still supported this chip. What if you wanted to listen to video game music using the original chip, no emulation, but you had only a serial or USB port?

  42. Ok, finally finished backups of the pi3.

    Filled up a 32 gig thumb drive! So much stuff!

    Final step: backup of Tandy 1000 in progress.

    I'm giving #EtherDFS a workout here. Exporting a directory of a fat32 thumb drive directly to the Tandy and the Tandy is making and writing zips to it!
