Ultimately the problem with designing my own #retrocompuing / #permacomputing system always boils down to the fact that I don't actually have a regular need for computing for anything other than a communications tool. I have no clear objectives or goals to design towards; no problem to solve.

Do you think a version of the #C64 with the internal expansion slots of the #apple2 would have been successful?

I've always wondered why such a system never happened back in the day. There are parts of the memory that could have been remapped without breaking much -- the cassette buffer comes to mind. I'm quite happy the #commanderx16 has such slots. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one!

Fondly remembering some favorite moments from my #retrocompuing collecting

The German for “useless tat that just collects dust” is “Staubfänger” (literally “dust catcher”).

Maybe my favorite Staubfänger is this. #retrocompuing

More on Lisa! At VCF East 2021, Jason Perkins gave an in-depth demo of the Apple Lisa, and for the 40th Anniversary he's put together a new recording showing how it was designed to be used with great video and audio quality:

I recently got a #BlueSCSI kit. Are there any good _non-video_ instructions on how to assemble one? Is it a similar process for all BlueSCSI devices? #retrocompuing

I'm in need of a 65C02 emulator core (written in C or C++) and a macro assembler. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Western Design Centre 65C02 variant preferred.

So, now that I own these beauties... what do I do with them? #crtftw #retrocompuing #TTLvsRGB

#retrocompuing session!

its here!

had to remove the screw thingies to plug in to the ST... which are all that holds the outer shield on 🙃

oh well, might have to glue it on?

connected to Level 29, as is tradition

the wifi modem won't connect to the house wireless for some reason, so i connected it to my phone

that's right, this 520ST has 5G wireless connectivity!

@ahto i use Thortsten Otto's gcc toolchain on a raspi 4 as i find amusement in using modern compilers to target old systems as if they were embedded systems 🙃

i can rapidly test software using hatari's GEMDOS drive emulation

to write disks to run on real hardware i've got a bondi blue iMac era TEAC FD-05PU USB floppy drive 😁

Looks like this #Nabu computer becomes a topic? Seen some articles about it these last days (never heard of it before) #retrocompuing

Me falta el tercer ejemplar y creo que he perdido la oportunidad de pedirlo para Reyes.

Quizás cuando vuelva a organizar un poco mejor mi tiempo y mi vida me sirvan para inspirarme en mi propia creación.
