It's all about vintage computers.
Decided to display the VAX-11/750 at the @revspace open day yesterday. All the hard work repairing it seems to have paid off, managed to get 14 hours of uptime out of it before shutting it down at the end of the day! #unix #retrocomputing #dec #vax11 #minicomputer #unixhistory #bsd
It's been some years now that I got my Intellivision. I own only 5 game cartridges and have been dreaming of a multicart ever since. But I wasn't willing to buy the RTO for over € 100. Now I've built a PiRTO II. That's a cheap and simple project based on PI Pico. Happy! 🤩
I've bought some old literature!
First edition in German from 1982.
For a long time I was wondering if I would like this classic. And if I should read the English original or the German translation.
When it turned up for cheap I thought I'll give it a try now.
I only have very few games cartridges and it's not easy to find other games for a reasonable price in Germany. Apart from the 2 player sports games I don't like that is...
But at least I have some of the other great classics like Frogger and Q*Bert! 😍
From time to time you have to get things from your collection out and try if they still work!
This time I took my Intellivision. Still working fine what a relief! 🤩 Especially as I want to build a Pico based multicart for it in the near future.
Various other things...
MSX goodness and an Oric 1!
It's not that common to see 2 Mega 65 and 2 Apple IIc at the same event here in Germany!
For the Bubble Bobble highscore competition you had to play it on 3 different computers. The Commodore C128 (in C64 mode), the Commodore Amiga and the Atari ST. Incidentally all those came to the market in 1985. That's 'XL' years ago.
Interface XL
Doesn't stand for extra large interface, but for the 40th 'Interface' retrocomputing event that happened yesterday in Klausdorf near Kiel, Germany!
Mostly four times a year happening since around 2013. Couldn't find out exactly.
