  1. Is there a project to bring back the NewtonOS to any kind of smartphone? It’s written entirely in C++, so it shouldn’t be impossible. My Newton is getting old lately.

  2. Newton Goodness. The Messagepad 2000 features an Orinoco card! You know whoever owned and used this was hustlin'

    From the Newton Table at the Premiere VCF Montreal

  3. 💿 Platine double tête 78+M

    En principe, on utilise pas le même type de tête pour lire les 78 tours et les microsillons. Cette ancienne platine a les deux !

  4. 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.

  5. All issues resolved. The 40MHz 68030 accelerator is installed and working in the A2000.

    Here's a victory video of Black Lotus' 2019 OCS/ECS Amiga scenedemo 'Eon'. I am unsure if anyone will get the irony of this video, but the spark of that irony is what motivated this CPU upgrade from the Commodore 68020 board I was running before.

  6. Cracked open the Amiga 2000 and am moving from a 14MHz 68020 to a 40MHz 68030, and increasing FAST RAM in both 16-bit Zorro II space and 32-bit extended space.

    The "new" accelerator is a GVP G-Force 030 (Impact A2000-030 Combo Series II) with 8MB 32-bit FAST RAM and 68882 FPU.

    This board has a jumper allowing it to be fully disabled, which I will bring out to a toggle switch (for cycle-exact 68000 scenedemos).

  7. Any wiser ones here actually use a luggable in a professional capacity? My Precision feels heavy enough schleping around, but if I had to use one of these on a business trip I might actually have some muscle definition.

  8. Un petit brin de nostalgie pour les passionnés de vintage tech : le pad QuickShot QS-191 pour PC (1995). 👾

    À l'époque où le Gameport DA-15 régnait en maître sur nos cartes Sound Blaster, cette manette tentait le pari d'amener le feeling console sous MS-DOS. Mention spéciale au sélecteur physique de Turbo Fire au centre, indispensable pour survivre aux Shoot 'em up de l'époque sans choper une tendinite.

    Quelle était ta première manette PC ?

  9. After lengthy and somewhat casual searching, I've found and purchased (eBay) an accelerator with (critically) a hardware disable for my Amiga 2000, a GVP G-Force 030 with 40MHz 68030/882.

    It just occurred to me that, oddly, this will be the first 68030 that I've ever had in the house.

    68000, 68010, 68020, 68040, 68060 - yes, but never a 68030.

    (Currently using an A2620 14MHz 68020/882/851 in the CPU slot.)

  10. 🚨 Breaking: the FCC eliminates broadcast TV ownership limits! Because nothing says "progress" like a media monopoly, right? 😜 Meanwhile, IE 11 is still the browser equivalent of a flip phone 📞—perfect for users who enjoy their news like a fine vintage. 🕰️

  12. @gloriouscow I have an O2. I set out to get an Indy, but got an O2. The O2 is cool, but everything I've used it for I could've done more cheaply and quietly and in less space with an Indy. Maybe get an Indy.

    Right now the O2 system is on the shelf because I needed space for an Apple IIe.

    Here's a gallery of my O2 in its various settings: flickr.com/photos/blakespot/al

  13. Boombox Sharp : ouverture et investigations

    Après avoir nettoyé cette boombox Sharp GF-5757H dans un Short, je la démonte pour voir ce qu'elle nous cache...

  14. New video day! I've been spending some time with the Sony Vaio VGN-TX3XP. a 20-year-old carbon fiber ultra-portable that still puts some modern "thin and lights" to shame.

    I tried modern 32-bit Linux (#antix), but ultimately decided to return it to its Windows XP glory.

    Watch the teardown and setup here:

  18. Installed Logic Express 8 on my 2006 32-bit iMac tonight.

    Decided to try my hand at recreating one of my short tracks, albeit it not exactly the same of course. Considering I've used Logic Pro since the 10.x-11.x days and I'm accustomed to that, it took a lot of getting used to the different interface look and binds.

    Here is the one from the iMac. (aka the "2007 Edition")

  19. 📼 Microcassette toute mignonne pour dictaphone video.neliger.com/w/atMKk2innx

    Je fait mumuse avec un Olympus Pearlcorder S930, un dictaphone à microcassette beaucoup plus perfectionnée que ce que j'ai connu par le passé !

  21. Après toutes ces années, j'essaye enfin le LaserDisc !

    Le LaserDisc a toujours été un format curieux pour moi et probablement bien d'autres de ma génération... Aujourd'hui, j'en ai un sous la main à essayer !

    Cette boombox Sharp GF-5757H a de l'hallure, mais elle a passé beaucoup de temps dans un garage, et a besoin d'amour !

  24. J’adore ces machines où l’UX est… mécanique.
    La HP-46 (1973) combine calcul scientifique, RPN et imprimante intégrée : tu obtiens une trace papier immédiate et le clac-clac vaut un ASMR vintage. 😄

  25. 🔋 Adaptateur de piles bien pratique !

    Très pratiques quand on restaure et utilise de vieux appareils qui utilisaient d'énormes piles très lourdes et devenues assez chères...

  26. Because I Can: ESP32 meets the Ancient CS5529

    Current status: Unemployed (far too long).
    Current mood: Let's over-engineer something.
    ​I dug through the parts bin and found an old Cirrus Logic CS5529 ADC (16-bit Delta-Sigma). Sure, I could use a modern I2C ADC, but where's the fun in that? Poorly documented SPI sounds better.
    Spin up a custom ESP32 board and write a driver for this dinosaur from scratch.

  27. 🔈 Haut parleurs à l'ancienne mais encore bons !

    J'avoue que je ne m'attendais pas à ce que ces enceintes vintages à fentes de bois sonnent aussi bien. Souvent, ça vieillit très mal, les haut parleurs !

  28. Oh yeah IT WORKS!

    I was finally able to repair this analog LCD TV by replacing quite a few capacitors.

    One of the first portable color TVs 😻

  29. I present the current status of the "Téléchat" project: a RaspBerry Pi 4B to generate sound and image from a custom program displayed on a browser in kiosk mode, a modulator, an amplifier and an antenna.

  30. This is going to be the best alarm clock in the world, with the personal YHF TV channel I'm coding here :p
