Ember in the Pattern BufferWhat software do people use for connecting to their #RC2014 ? Just minicom?
I'm trying to get the various escape characters working right with termdef, I probably just don't know what I'm doing

RC2014@socketwench "I'm not really intending for it to be practical or useful..." That's the #RC2014 philosophy right there! ๐
@mos_8502 Being a productive home computer was never the goal of the #RC2014. It is great that it has grown in to something *almost* practical, whilst also sad that in 2026 we would need such things.
The point was a combination of having fun building your own computer that could do... something. Getting to understand the hardware, tick a task off your bucket list, and have retro throwback memories to yesteyear are enough for most people.
If I ever start stealing users away from Mac/Windows/Linux it'll be a bitter sweet day.
You like Easter Eggs? You like #RC2014? How many of you with an RC2014 Mini II Picasso have found the Easter Egg yet? And can you decode the cryptic 6 digit number?
Retrofan 64Holy bubble sort batman! I decided to run my sort on a 1k element array on the Idun CPeM against my lovely little RC2014.
It's hardly a fair comparison, but I actually thought that the emulated CPM would be a bit more "dumbed down". The sort had already started on the Idun before the rc2014 had populated the array with random data.
I'm getting an appreciation for how good we have it now.
Thanks everyone for liking and sharing the #RC2014 Mini II Picasso toot yesterday.
To answer some of your questions - Yes, it really is a real kit. There's no camera trickery, or photoshopping and definitely no AI slop. And, yes, the discount code was also real as a few of you found out. Some kits shipped yesterday, the others will go out today.
