In tonight's pointless things I've spent time doing ever wanted a neofetch type program for the #ZXSpectrum?

Well, your prayers have been answered! (And yes, this does do rudimentary hardware detection using a bunch of functions from Z88DK)

My latest project is code-named "Total Reprint." I ported The Print Shop (1986) to ProDOS and made it hard-drive-installable. Then I made some other improvements, like live previews of third-party graphics and borders. It's bundled with every graphic, border, and font that Broderbund ever released, plus hundreds of other openly licensed graphics that I back-ported from modern artists.

Come to INIT HELLO in July for the product launch. <https://init-hello.org/>

FujiNet is a Powerful Wi-Fi Adapter for #retrocomputing and #retrogaming users.

What can you do to help? Read and see.

You know anyone who fits that bill?
