  1. At long last -- my Amiga 2000 has a CPU speed switch!

    ( Fast and Faster )

    A "new" 40MHz 68030/882 accelerator with 8MB 32-bit FAST RAM is slotted in and wired with a switch, there on the front. Base 68000 system has 8MB 16-bit FAST RAM, a respectable fallback for cycle-exact OCS/ECS demos.

  2. Pour fêter l'histoire de la micro-informatique européenne,
    Voici un petit hommage au Philips VG5000µ de 1984.

    Construit au Mans, équipé du Zilog Z80A à 4 MHz et du fameux chip graphique EF9345. C’était une machine taillée pour la crise . Elle exigeait d'acheter l'extension VG5216 juste pour pouvoir brancher des manettes... Le véritable esprit DIY des années 80 ! 🐘⚙️

    L'as-tu connu ?

  3. It appears, as I read it, that this may be the last moment to purchase an F18A FPGA VDP VGA board, a highly enhanced hardware replacement for the VDP in systems using the TMS9918A graphics chip, such as the TI-99/4A, ColecoVision, and MSX systems.

    It seems the last pre-order from SHIFT838 ends on March 7 -- and that will be -it- for production of this unit by SHIFT838.

    So, if you want one, now is the time. (I have one in my '99 and it's driving the 80-column ANSI display shown in my earlier toot.)
