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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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. 🙏

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! 🤓Mehr Infos: https://diskette.ch/flohmi 💾

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! 🤓More info: https://diskette.ch/flohmi 💾

The CBS story for our recovery of UNIX V4 has now been published! It's a fun, short clip.

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.

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.

Just moved to a new apartment and it's got much more space for my machines! Still need to get furniture, though.

I realized that Moon Child's manual (CD-ROM inlay) hadn't been scanned yet, so I added it to the MC Archive.
The backside made me chuckle. The publisher arranged a photo shoot, and the photographer insisted we should have a serious popstar expression. 😆
From left to right: me, Ramon and Reinier. 🙂

HAM RADIO Friedrichshafen is almost over!
If you haven't stopped by yet, there's still time to come say hello to the ARDC team in the DARC section! We’ve got a vintage Tandy and HP Palmtop looping ARDC information ( come hack our computers!) While you're here, grab a fresh ARDC sticker for your laptop, radio case, or wherever stickers tend to end up. We’d love to see you before the show wraps up.

🥱 Oh wow, let's all gather 'round and geek out over the riveting tale of a 40-year-old video card that made the Apple II a "serious" computer. Reverse-engineering ancient tech to understand slot 3's quirks—just what every hip, modern reader was dying to know! 😂💾

I got a Silent 765 with a file system using bubble memory! Bubble memory is a non-volatile storage like core memory, but using magnetic tape, and was quickly replaced with flash memory. In the terminology of Teletype Corporation, this would be a Buffer Send/Receive terminal. Unfortunately, it has some issues that will need troubleshooting.
To see this model used to prepare files for a KIM-1, see Cameron Kaiser's excellent blog post: http://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2022/09/what-kim-1-really-needs-is-bubble.html
