does archive.org really need a 4800 dpi scan of all sides of the box?

no, probably not.

is it getting a 4800 dpi scan of all sides of the box? yes. yes it is.

slowly building an archive dump for FTG light pens as well.

once I get a few more of the cards (one of which is coming with a whole bag of original documents/manuals) this will all be going up as well

so a utility to tell you if your light pen is working okay would be useful right?

it would tell you if your pen is ok.

what might such a utility be named

i am sorry i am making the fediverse worse
@gloriouscow hard disagree.

@seanwbruno

i will try harder

mood right now
@gloriouscow I'm not sick of it yet! What's your favorite software using a C64 light pen? I have a light pen but nothing to do with it.

@thalia I don't know a damn thing about the C64, so I can't give a personal recommendation.

But I highly suggest you track down whatever software this demon child is using and build your dream home

@thalia seriously what is even going on here, is she wearing a duvet cover
@gloriouscow Well I've got that same model of Commodore Datassette, so I'm good to go. I just need some way to get it on the cassette, since this it doesn't have a regular audio jack and my other cassette recorders have issues. Possibly some convoluted way through my Commodore 64 Ultimate.
@thalia is this like 80's AI
