The A1222+ is a collaboration between A-Eon (makers of the AmigaOne X1000), Amedia Computer (an online distributor) and AmigaKit (makers of Enhancer Software for #AmigaOS4)
The boards are being manufactured by ACube Systems, makers of the Sam #PowerPC boards.
I finally got a PowerPC-based PC for the collection! It's a Motorola Net6200/166, a PReP system part of the PowerStack II family with dual 166 MHz PowerPC 604e CPUs. I need to find the proper RAM and replace the clock/NVRAM chip, but it at least boots enough to give a "please install memory" chime. Once it is up and running, I am going to document as much as I can about the machine since there is very little information about this model surviving online.
#RetroComputing#VintageMac folks: does anyone have, or know where I can find, drivers for the Mirror Technologies “Tornado Graphics Card”?
I picked this card up from eBay the other day. It’s a 24-bit NuBus graphics card that is a rebadged version of the “MicroConversions 2124NB”. It supposedly offers NuBus acceleration, but requires a driver to operate, which I do not have.
There is a driver for the “MicroConversions 2124NB II” that is archived, but this driver doesn’t work with the Tornado.
The good news is that, even unaccelerated, it offers much faster performance in my IIfx than both my Lapis ProColorServer 8•16 II and my Macintosh Display Card 4•8. Haven’t tested to see if it works with Linux yet, though.
This is my rough roadmap for #Macstodon:
(no guarantees on ANY of it though, depends on how long I keep interest without burning out or getting bored, and what's technically possible with MacPython)
Note: development is very slow at the moment because I am doing a lot of coding at my day job and don't want to also do it in my free time.
1.1
pick what to display in each of the three columns
show lists, hashtags, bookmark feeds
support for viewing polls, MAYBE for creating them
MAYBE filters for notifications?
MAYBE support multiple servers?
MAYBE support calckey?
At that point, I would consider it "feature-complete" and a finished project.
