Browsing eBay and there's an Apple IIe with the description in French:

🇫🇷 "Ordinateur Apple IIe Les condensateurs d'alimentation ont été changés

So I put the text into a translator and got:

🇬🇧 "Computer Apple IIe Food condensers have been changed"

Food condensers? I'm going to presume that's Capacitors 🤣

Zumindest ein Highlight für mich. Gestern auf einer sehr vollen Retrobörse in Oberhausen erstanden. „The Bard‘s Tale“ für den Commodore 64. Sogar mit handgezeichneten Maps vom Vorbesitzer 🥰

I can't find this referenced anywhere, but is WiFi's IEEE code number 802.11 a reference to the terminals in Marathon (1994)?

The Serial Port team resurrect the once extinct FTP indexing and search tool Archie. This was an interesting journey, to be sure.

I love the 8-bit and 16-bit compositions and arrangements of Tim Follin.

This is a 3-channel Commodore 64 SID chiptune for the 1988 Black Lamp game.

Be sure to wait for the solo starting at around 42 seconds into the track. 👍👍

found a wonderful little game preservation site devoted to early IBM/Tandy booters and PCjr cartridge images. original disk images can be often difficult to track down, as people often upload dumps made from cracked diskettes.

plenty of eyeball-bleeding CGA screenshots too

This is the 𝙨𝙞𝙭𝙩𝙝 in-game tune our composer Ramon Braumuller made.

We wanted the music to be relaxing, as there's time-based pressure to solve the puzzles.

I’ve been rebuilding a installation that supports my classic Mac habit 😄

I used to use the awesome image which includes a ton of pre-configured software like . But it hasn’t been updated in a while so I used it as excuse to start from scratch.

I used this Pi Zero W as my starting point. HDMI video stopped working on it for unknown reasons. I added an Ethernet/USB hub hat and a 2 hat for devices.

As promised, I wrote a blog post about creating my own classic Mac support server using a Raspberry Pi Zero, a TashTalk 2 hat, netatalk, and a few other tools. It's very much like MacIPRpi with everything current.
