Trying out some of the hardware I picked up at MIT Swapfest today. A new memory card for my //gs (really just needed one chip but the price was right), a Booti disk emulator, a A2CDVI adapter to give my //c an HDMI port, and a mouse for the //c. #retrocomputing #mitflea

No dice. I tried two different disks, one with FreeDOS 1.4 and another with MS-DOS 6.22. The laptop drive doesn't recognize either of them as a system disk.

This looks like something to sell at the #MITFlea / #Swapfest to someone who wants a project.

Starting to make my bin(s) for #mitflea / #swapfest next month. Hoping to get some gear from old curriculums and spare parts from projects out of the house!
Games That I MissedOct 21, 2025

I picked up two #StreetPass visits this past weekend at the MIT Flea. One a repeat from a previous Flea, and one new. Lots of new puzzle pieces!

I had a StreetPass sign up at my tables, and a lot of people stopped to comment on it. Chatted about favorite games, what got us into video gaming ... really nice people. Most didn't have a *DS on them, but said they'd bring it along in the spring.
