In the lab, working on a C64 board that my late friend ZXkim81 sent me years ago. I am not going to be able to bring Kim back, sadly. But I can at least try to make this machine work again. 🤞😥

After a bank holiday delivery delay, I finally got the new RGB SCART cable for the Archimedes 420/1 - fully wired, this time.

Still no picture.

Next step'll be checking the sync jumpers on the motherboard, but that'll have to wait until I've the time!

🌈➕ Exciting news! We've acquired the first specimen of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum+ (1984)! Functionally identical to its predecessor, it features a keyboard akin to the Sinclair QL. Improvements over the original include a reset button, legs, larger enter and space keys, and directional arrows! 🤯

From my 2000s ar(t)chive...

3D illustration for an article about reusing old PC's. Back then a PC like this wasn't yet as retro as it is now. 😁

Temporary disk formatting UI from 1994 still lives on in Windows 11 https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/03/windows-current-disk-formatting-ui-is-a-30-year-old-placeholder-from-windows-nt/ "Former Microsoft programmer Dave Plummer shared some history about one of those finely aged bits: the Format dialogue box, which is still used in fully updated Windows 11 installs to this day when you format a disk using Windows Explorer."

I want to try to connect a SCSI Hard Drive to an AKAI Professional DSP 16.

Here are the connectors (photos). What kind of specific SCSI cable do I need? How to do it? I'm really not an SCSI expert. I'm a little confused..

  • AKAI: x 1, High-pitch 50-pin for external Harddisk connection
  • Hard Drive: HP 73 GB Wide ULTRA 320 SCSI - 80 PIN

Thanks so much! :0)

I got the "mystery" expansion featured in my last video to work! Turns out it’s a 4MB RAM expansion (upgradeable to 8MB) and an optional coprocessor. Very handy for a minimal WHDLoad setup or the likes. Thanks to the fast RAM, the gained speed is quite significant considering it‘s basically "just" a RAM expansion.

Ihr erinnert euch vielleicht an die britischen Alteisensammler, die vor ein paar Jahren eine unfangreiche IBM S/360-Anlage aus Nürnberg geholt und nach Großbritannien gefahren haben. Jetzt geht's denen genauso, wie vielen anderen Alteisensammlern: Zeit und Platz wird zum Geldproblem. Also suchen sie jemanden, der Interesse hätte, etlichen Quadratmetern IBM Mainframe ein neues Zuhause zu geben: https://www.ibm360.co.uk/?p=911

Messing around with making a web site to do things with Lode Runner levels. 😎

Seems like it took forever but I've finally got something to share! It's the Lode Runner Level Exchange!

https://loderunner.retrobattlestations.com

Upload a disk with your custom Lode Runner levels and share cross platform with others. Download a collection as a disk image ( & currently) to play levels on your vintage hardware!

There are bugs, the site is ugly (anyone want to volunteer for web design?), but the basic concept is in place!
