Cleaning up my new #RetroCompting project. Not sure who Steward is, but he labeled a number of chips on the motherboard of this #VintageApple #PowerMac 7100/80.

Wow, a friend just sent me this 1982 video, “Don’t Bother Me I’m Learning”, that includes a segment about our Marin Computer Center, and a brief interview with Annie Fox. I can be seen too but I didn’t talk. 41 years ago!

So now that my #Commodore #Vic20 is working, I need a way to save/load data. What recommendations are out there? Is there a good, simple way to get it working with like an SD card or the likes?

Finally got round to a quick test of the PAL-1 serial i/f (here in its ttl form) ... sadly a simple loopback test fails, and worse, I won't have time to look at it again in detail until Monday. #pal1 #mc6850 #fail #retrocompting

My first computer was an Atari 400 that I got for Christmas in 1980. I still have it. It was the start of almost everything for me. I still have it. #christmas #joinin #retrocompting

God I love the sound of an 80s hard disk.

"There are many people running Linux (and possibly more saliently FreeBSD) servers today who learned and polished their skills on this stuff. There are multiple forms of value in keeping old machines running: educational value, in seeing how things were done. Lessons in performance optimization, resource usage, scalability, and so on".

What did Unix fans learn from the end of Unix workstations?

Hi all, just wondering what the user port on the c64 was used for, so far I have only seen it used by modems and printers, did it do anything else?

Interested in what people who do #electronics and #Retrocompting and have limited space do. I don't really have the space to have either computers or a dedicated electronics workbench. Curious as to what peoples solutions are?

Found the cable. Lifted the monitor and main unit onto the bench. Sadly, it looks like a hard disk failure may have occurred. No boot from the SCSI hard disk. But I might've forgotten to connect something back up inside (I hope)..
