En 1982, Columbia Data Products hizo historia con la MPC 1600: la primera computadora compatible con IBM PC que logró clonar legalmente su BIOS mediante ingeniería inversa.

Ese paso abrió la puerta al mercado de los “PC compatibles” y cambió para siempre la industria.

Look mom!!! No cables!!!

Surfing the #internet at blazing 9600 baud with my #homebrew #wifi #serial modem! Finally with a proper db9 to db25 adapter instead of janky jumper wires.
Also, I'm running on #batteries !
I could literally pick it up and go use it everywhere...
...there's a table 😅 I mean, you cannot use it on your laps. Ask me how I know 🪨

“Ever heard of MacCharlie? It was a 5.25" floppy based MS-DOS machine that served as a cradle for your original Mac and attached over serial. It even included a keyboard "overlay" with extended keys. Found in Byte Apr 1985: https://t.co/ghNq7M94BR”
