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.

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.

8MB 16-bit FAST RAM installed! Now to drop in the 68030 board...

Happily, was able to find eight 30-pin 70ns FPM 1MB SIMMs, so I can populate the 16-bit Zorro II RAM+SCSI card to 8MB in this Amiga 2000 upgrade.

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).

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 ?

Amiga people: Do any of the new accelerators that work with the Amiga 2000 allow fallback to the original 68000 by way of a PHYSICAL SWITCH or jumper?
I want an accelerator that can be disabled (without using soft-menus to control the state) so that the Amiga is able to fall back to its 100% exact original 68000 state, which some demos require to run properly, due to cycle-precise coding.
I have an A2620 68020 accelerator in my NTSC A2000, but it does not have a physical switch (just a soft menu) and the state gets lost when I juggle that soft menu and the need to also use Degrader to reboot into PAL mode.
Apparently the A2620 can be modified to add a switch, but it's beyond my abilities.
Many thanks.

I'm still having a blast with Quicktake for Apple II from @colin_mcmillen. It's pretty cool (and rather geeky) to be walking around in public these days with a QuickTake 200 in my pocket. :-P
And new features are on the way...

Using software written in 2026 (by @colin_mcmillen) on a computer released in 1983 to extract digital photos from a digital camera released in 1994.
Apple QuickTake 200 connected via serial to my 128K enhanced Apple IIe (video output via composite to CRT and to LCD via VidHD video card) with "large" volumes mounted via CFFA3000 flash storage card.
The 640x480 camera images (JPEGs) are decoded and scaled for display in the double high-res graphics mode at 560x192 monochrome pixels. Just lovely.

i jailbroke my old iPod Touch and put some old games on it :D
All thanks to Cydia, AppSync Unified, and Veteris. It was incredibly easy to set up and will stay forever (unless I factory reset the device).
Minecraft Pocket Edition v0.9.5 is already on the iPod, too. I might want to use it for music mostly, though!Any recommendations for nostalgic games and/or apps for iOS 6?
(Experimenting with using more relevant hashtags by the way; after all, discoverability is our own responsibility in the Fediverse. Did this help? Is this annoying?)

The Sony Clie PDA was a game-changer in the early 2000s, introducing a sleek, innovative design to the personal digital assistant market. Launched in 2000, the Clie featured a vibrant color screen and expandable memory, making it a favorite among tech enthusiasts. Although discontinued in 2005, the Clie remains a beloved relic of mobile computing history.

This is a '99er.
Check out this TI-99/4A setup ... collection ... room. It's the most impressive TI-99 situation I've ever beheld. Just, wow. Posted by John Carr on Facebook, showing the culmination of his lifetime of collecting.

For my last #MARCHintosh 2024 post, I point to a particularly iconic work by Susan Kare (do you see what I did there?!) from the early days of the Macintosh, as seen at the "Places of Invention" exhibit at the National Museum of American History in Washington D.C.
Steve Jobs, rendered in pixels, 32x32, black and white. On paper ... and flesh. Obviously, I am fond of the work. 🙂
Two related blog posts with more info and a exhibit photo gallery link:
