Look what came in the mail today. Another 386 board, this time with OPTi chipset, but it has the dreaded Varta bomb. I'll see if I can rescue it. #retrogaming #retrocomputing

Left this UV-EPROM in direct sunlight for a couple hours just as an experiment. No harm done, zero bits have been deleted... #retrocomputing

If you test mainboards on a regular basis, try this. Got this idea from @CpuGalaxy on Twitter. Thanks! #RetroComputing

Ever since the 'DF Retro' video by John Linneman on the Ridge Racer series, it felt like second-hand prices for these games were a tad elevated. Anyway, I finally got myself a copy for a decent price... yay! 😎

Took a photo of a user guide illustration of an old #Microsoft Mouse and added some effects in GIMP. I'm an artist now. 👨🏻‍🎨

Just saw this array of Microsoft mice on eBay and loved the varying amount of yellowing on them! The only thing that annoys me is that they're not arranged in a proper gradient. 😂

A new AMD 386-based retro PC build, comes in a desktop case which I spray-painted in black. Still missing a black CRT though... and the keyboard is slightly too modern.😂 #RetroComputing #casemodding

If I would assemble myself a current-gen overpowered PC for gaming (which I won't), it would probably be to enjoy the new MS Flight Simulator. It's a marvellous piece of software, just imo.
