  1. This was my computer setup back in 1993. I’ve wanted to recreate it but have never been able to find an AT case like this one. I’d appreciate any tips on identifying it. The DFI logo is a red herring. That’s a badge I put on it myself back then.

  3. A bunch of interesting things surface while I'm rummaging through the storage of the Diskette. 😁 The flea market and exhibition are on this Saturday!

  4. So einiges kommt zu Tage beim Wühlen durch den Fundus der Diskette. 😁 Flohmi und Ausstellung diesen Samstag!

  5. Getting an IBM PS/1 Model 2011 onto a network is tricky when there are no ISA slots. So this time I’m using a Xircom parallel port Token Ring adapter, ODI drivers, ODITRPKT, and mTCP to see how far a 286 can go. #RetroComputing #VintageComputing youtube.com/watch?v=qeb1TiAAUn4

  7. #vintagecomputing folks, how would you make a laptop BBC micro? No emulation.

  9. An experimental #Amiga OCS Core for the #Mega65 was released last evening! Wanted to try it out and totally forgot about the Formula 1 sprint qualy.

    Had to reconfigure the #mouSTer to be an Amiga mouse instead of #Commodore #C135

    It works great! Took the x86 path in the 90's so never really used an Amiga and #Workbench so this will be something new to explore!

  13. A couple iterations of a chat program I wrote that would allow users on two terminals on the HP3000 to have an interactive “BBS style” chat. Another program that I’m disappointed to not have kept the final version of. #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

  15. Also found a map I made of the terminals that were connected to the HP3000. I had written a program that would display when people logged on & off the HP3000 and show which terminal on the map. Unfortunately I never printed out the program itself. 😞 #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

  17. Found a stash of printouts from college when I was messing around with the HP3000 they had in a lab. This one is interesting, it’s an ASCII art sign-on banner I made in 1989. Looks like i used HP terminal escape sequences to do block graphics and inverse. #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

  19. This No Man's Sky screenshot I just took on the moon of a gas giant reminds me a little bit of the fractal landscape generator for the Amiga computer known as Scenery Animator.

  21. I'm so old that my first thought when seeing this was "Oooh a modern DK Tronics keyboard for a ZX Spectrum"

  23. Does anyone remember the fantastic #wordProcessor #Marcel for the #AtariST? (I think it was also released for other systems.)

    The last version can easily be found online, but I’m looking for older versions and, most importantly, a scan of the physical #manual.

    Boosts appreciated. 🙏

  25. Dank vieler Spenden in den letzten Monaten quillt das Lager der Diskette über - ein sehr schönes "Problem" zu haben.
    Deswegen müssen ein paar Altbestände jetzt mal raus: Bei der nächsten Öffnung am 11.7. gibt es parallel zur Ausstellung auch eine Art mini-Flohmi mit Sachen aus dem Lager. Lasst euch überraschen und kommt vorbei! 🤓

  27. Thanks to lots of donations over the last few months, the Diskette storeroom is bursting at the seams – a rather nice ‘problem’ to have.
    That’s why it’s time to clear out some of the old stock: at its next opening on 11 July, alongside the exhibition, there’ll also be a sort of mini-flea market featuring items from the storeroom. Come along and see what’s in store! 🤓

  28. Part 2 of my Token Ring exploration: Windows NT dual-homed on Ethernet and Token Ring, resource conflicts, Windows 95 joining the ring, and the question of what happened to Gigabit Token Ring.

  30. I bought a CZUR ET Max scanner, assuming it would be nice for the big pile of old computer brochures I have to scan. Never have I been so disappointed...

    The software is buggy (doesn't recognize selection half the time), auto-trim and crop is useless, flattening doesn't really work and the quality is piss poor. Yet I was testing on what seemed like an easy candidate: almost flat A4 commercial booklet, in good diffused natural lighting.

    Here's a picture of the cover page "scanned" at 600 DPI, and side-by-side details comparison from the scanner and a phone picture. The auto-descreening messed up most of the details, the front page text is oddly sharpened while all the computer details are blurry.

    It would be alright for doing quick and dirty scans, but the quality & software doesn't warrant the high price when a phone and ScanTailor have better results... And the phone is less expensive than the scanner. Boo.

    In a nutshell, don't bother. I'll go back to my flatbed for the time being and will try to get a Plustek book scanner at a later time.
