It’s pretty hard to sum up how crazy those semifinals were, but we think this point does a good job of it 😵‍💫

Came across this compact floppy disk on a second hsnd marketplace. It looks like the 3" diskettes used on the Amstead CPC 6128, but I'm not quite sure it's exactly the same. Bought it anyway, worst case it'll be one for the "odd media" collection.

It says M5 on the label. On the other side is C-5/B. The brand is Sord Computer Corporation. They had an M5 computer model, but that took regular 5.25" disks from what I can see...

New blog post! What do you do when a new computer needs a cartridge in order to work at all? Make that cartridge! Today, we're having fun with the teeny-tiny Sord M5 from 1982 thanks to KiCad's new tracing tools.

Figgy found himself a sord

He karry it awound da hous
Not caring dat it bent

Silly Figgy, runs awound
And in his mouff, his sord
Den he leebs it on da steps
Wen finally he bored

He sing his songs
He play wif it

He take a bwake
To hab a dwink

Puts it in in bol

And dere it stay
Dat silly Fig
Forget his sord
Leebs it behind
