One can see #HouseMD is an old show because there's a silver laptop with a DB-25 parallel port at the rear.

I've not seen those made and sold for 15+ years, if not 20 years now...

I realized that Moon Child's manual (CD-ROM inlay) hadn't been scanned yet, so I added it to the MC Archive.

The backside made me chuckle. The publisher arranged a photo shoot, and the photographer insisted we should have a serious popstar expression. 😆

From left to right: me, Ramon and Reinier. 🙂

HAM RADIO Friedrichshafen is almost over!

If you haven't stopped by yet, there's still time to come say hello to the ARDC team in the DARC section! We’ve got a vintage Tandy and HP Palmtop looping ARDC information ( come hack our computers!) While you're here, grab a fresh ARDC sticker for your laptop, radio case, or wherever stickers tend to end up. We’d love to see you before the show wraps up.

WorkBoy: Cancelled Nintendo Game Boy Add-on Software Tour

🥱 Oh wow, let's all gather 'round and geek out over the riveting tale of a 40-year-old video card that made the Apple II a "serious" computer. Reverse-engineering ancient tech to understand slot 3's quirks—just what every hip, modern reader was dying to know! 😂💾

The Card That Made the Apple II Serious — Wise Owl

The Videx VideoTerm was the 80-column card that turned the Apple II into a business machine. Emulating it on an FPGA means reverse-engineering a 1981 MC6845 CRTC design and understanding why slot 3 is unlike every other slot in the machine.

I got a Silent 765 with a file system using bubble memory! Bubble memory is a non-volatile storage like core memory, but using magnetic tape, and was quickly replaced with flash memory. In the terminology of Teletype Corporation, this would be a Buffer Send/Receive terminal. Unfortunately, it has some issues that will need troubleshooting.

To see this model used to prepare files for a KIM-1, see Cameron Kaiser's excellent blog post: http://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2022/09/what-kim-1-really-needs-is-bubble.html

A native #IRC Client for the #Mega65 and it works pretty good.

No need to use a #C64 Terminal emulator like Novaterm and a Swiftlink modem connection for this when there's a native TCP stack.
