IT person. Well-padded. Sometimes stupid, sometimes bright. I love #synthesizers. Sometimes I make #music with them, usually without pants. I also putter around with #electronics, #microcontrollers, #IoT, #HomeAutomation / #HomeAssistant, and #RetroComputing...also without pants. I won't post much personal stuff. LGBTQ ally. Say hi!

A little Saturday retro computing 'hack':
Usb floppy drives from places like Amazon, only write HD 1.44MB disks, have you ever wanted to write a DD 720k disk on a modern computer easily, without something like a Greaseweazle?
Get yourself a Dell MPF82E, it has a USB port

@katre This could have happened to me, but didn't. Because I was an IT contractor for that school at the time, and the teachers all knew better :)

@deepthaw I can't help much with your Apple II dilemma, but under MSDOS, you can use mbrutman's IRCjr and connect to the #retrodreams IRC channel on irc.slashnet.org, which is gated to the General channel on that Discord server.

Do you use Discord and enjoy #retrocomputing and other retro-related topics? If so, let me know and I'll send you an invite to the RTC server, an active, friendly, inclusive spot to chat about this stuff!

Oops.. Apparently I already posted about this thing LOL.
My plan is to see how far I can expand it using the bus connector on the top edge.

This little Micro Master 8085 trainer is a neat toy I picked up at #VCFMW #retrocomputing

@KydiaMusic you know that his supporters certainly are that stupid. "low information voters" = conservative voters

@gruff NEWDOS/80 was my favorite OS back in the day. Mainly because it gave you complete control of so many aspects of the OS. You could mix-and-match drive types and formats. TBH, other DOSses might have been able to do this as well, but I wasn't exposed to them then.
