I have dumped the rest of last year's #Aprilcot stuff on my Apricot site. This includes some more stuff about the 8089 and the mystery of the disk drive spindle motor, and project pages for asm89 and APSG. https://bytex64.net/apricot/

I've also added source SVGs for the stickers I made for VCF. https://bytex64.net/apricot/stickers/

Enjoy!

god I really wish the 8089 made its way into the IBM PC, makes sense though since IBM wanted to save the I/O channel processors for the 370s (lol they even called them "control blocks" like it's an assembler program on MVS) 😔

also, wonderful work, thanks for what you've done here!!!
