Brought out the Pentium 2 retro PC again. First thing to do? Watch demos, or course.
48kRAM but with parity

Okay, Kickstart 1.3 ROM is burned. PAL crystal is on order. Traded with a buddy for his 8371 agnus. My A500 should finally be PAL soon. Thanks @retrorewind for the adapter to fix commodore's ooops
Took delivery of a another petabyte at work, so I nabbed a couple the HDD shipping boxes. Finally have proper boxes for my old HDDs.
Also WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY FUCKING HARD DRIVES?!?
This Fouth of July, declare your independence from exploded batteries!
Finally got around to building a USB power cable for my Atari 800xl. It's shitty inside the shell and not properly strain-relieved. But it will do for an upcoming event. When it breaks, ill rebuild it better.
The Boatfest KC-85 is now fully serviced! Complete recap and cleanup of the damaged pads. A deep clean of the case. And a new memory battery. Keyboard has 2 bad switches and a missing cap but I'll sort that out later.
Time to unpack from #boatfest2024
Picked up this less-than-beautiful but still VERY EXCITING Kyocera KC85 "slabtop"! This completes my collection of "Model 100" brands. I still technically need the NEC PC-8300 but I have an 8201a which is good enough for now.
Pepared this old Dell Inspiron 5000e for sale next weekend. Glued a few small case cracks and gave it a fresh install of Windows 2000 - from a real Dell reinstall CD, even.
