Microsoft released an IPv6 Technology Preview for Windows 2000. It works! Management is all done with the command line and you're limited when it comes to support, but it does work! My Compaq Deskpro EN is now talking to the modern IPv6 world.

I could #repair my first #C64. It was mainly a nasty short circuit on the multiplexed address lines on the ram and the VIC-II. I still have to sort out a few details (a CIA misbehaving), but most of the computer is now working and the BASIC V2 prompt shows a blinking cursor. I have a #C128D since 1994, but this is my very first real C64 😍Many thanks to @root42 and @janbeta who patiently gave many key advices. #retrocompuing

Got my youngest, who is in to retro everything, the reissue of the Commodore 64. My first computer come alive again. We’re so excited! https://www.commodore.net #retrocompuing #Commodore64

Does anyone in the UK do old PC stuff? I have a Pentium 166 w/MMX that I can't test, and I thought I'd offer it up to someone for cost of postage since I can't test it. #retrocompuing #intel #retro #pcgaming

Wrote a post on how I setup and use Basilisk II with my Macintosh Plus to share blog posts written in MacWrite over AppleTalk and do other important work like playing Myst.

My #IBM 5155 is finally up and running! There's still a lot to do, but I'm on the right track. It has only 256K of memory, so some older programs I have won't run on it, and I cannot format new floppies. The #DOS 3.3 5 1/4" floppy from the 80s that I found at my parents' house still works. If only today's hardware producers delivered the same quality as they did back then. The manuals from IBM in the 80s can't be compared to the many useless manuals available today. #retrocompuing #computers

Published my next post in a series of using a Palm Zire in October for the 2024 #retrochalllenge , this time on taking it on a work trip and using it in a modern office setting.
