Most of the ordered MNT Pocket Reform RCORE RK3588 upgrades are being packed and will go out beginning of next week.
A lot of MNT Reform RCORE RK3588 modules will also go out next week—these are only waiting for one replacement hex spacer that had been wrongly stocked at WE/Mouser.
Excited to boost a bunch of your (Pocket) Reforms to the next performance level :3
It's so complicated trying to explain Apple II pixel art limitations to people that I sat down and made a webpage about it. Linking it here in case anyone is interested:
Found this amazing very early example of using sound to do debugging.

Hey, Mastodon … I’m trying to track down an #AppleNewton developer named Stephen D. Cronin.
He worked at #AMD and operated a software company called TapTech based out of Austin, Texas in the late 90s. I’ve managed to contact his former software partner, Francis Preve … but Francis lost touch with Stephen years ago.
Together they released a sequencer program for #NewtonOS called NR404 and I’m hoping the source code still exists somewhere.
