▶️ #CTRAN: A drop-in FOSS replacement for CTRAN.EXE, the #Psion SIBO/EPOC16 OO C preprocessor on #DOS. Almost feature complete, but still work to do!
▶️ #ObjectPascal with #FreePascal: Used for CTRAN for easy development and portability. Honestly, I'm really enjoying it; it fits my needs and makes my brain happy.
▶️ RAM upgrade for 3mx to 4MB: Trying to source old DRAM isn't easy.
▶️ RAM upgrade for 5mx: Got the DRAM. Just need to solder it in place.
⏸️ Learn #Psion's proprietary 16-bit OO C.
⏸️ Rewrite more of the SIBO SDK.
⏸️ Learn about designing #compilers and #assemblers.
⏸️ New version of #PsiDrive PCB.
⏸️ Vine: A new #FOSS#EPOC16 word processor aimed at writers/authors, with Vim motions and #AsciiDoc compatibility.
⏸️ Converting the Psion SIBO C SDK to AsciiDoc.
⏸️ #fefstool: Like #mtools but for #Psion Flash (FEFS) volumes.
⏸️ #MAME null modem mod, so that it can talk properly to #DOSBox.
⏸️ psion.info redux.
⏸️ More docs!
I need to prioritise those pending projects, because just thinking about all that work makes me anxious. Even though IT'S MY CHOICE TO DO IT ALL!
I'm also not including all the random projects that pop into my head, like the #WrenLang and #Chip8 ports. Not to mention every time I think of a video I could make on any and all of these topics.
@thelastpsion wow, that’s a massive list! I found I had to radically downsize; I’m still overwhelmed. A problem is getting side-tracked: eg I have a test program that uses an existing Rust FFT library to transform an audio waveform into its constituent frequencies, but I MUST UNDERSTAND THE MATHS BEHIND IT! This (and everything I’m interested in) has fractal complexity. I wonder if there’s a role for an open source “manager”, who helps engineers prioritise?
