Old computer repair, history, and programming. One of these days I might actually use one of the machines I've fixed up. #retrocomputing #pc88 #pc6001

Bodged the CoCo keyboard PCB together just enough to get into #FujiNet. All the switches are crooked since I tried to freehand solder plate-mount switches into a PCB, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work! #retrocomputing
