@2kcompliant I always recommend Protoweb. Great proxy for the retro feel.
You could also self-host WRP or Browservice to access new pages (uses Chrome Embedded Framework and basically throws the framebuffer to an HTML 1.1 webpage).

@distrohopper39b Ohhh, yeah, I can't say on the VMs. No doubt though, ATV 1st gen is gonna be rough (though you got 10 to boot so something oughta give eventually)

@distrohopper39b Is this a negative comment or not, I can't tell this time.
Also we RTM or SP2? I set up a Dell E521 a few months ago and it was a blast to go through, having skipped it to go straight to 7 in 2010.

Please boost for #retrocomputing crowd...

1. A while ago, I remember seeing the 8048 firmware for the IBM Model F keyboard posted online. I can no longer seem to find it. Does anyone have a copy of it?

2. Additionally, I recall that with the copy I had, there was no context to how it was read out. Is there a debug/test mode on 8048 that lets you read out the firmware, similar to NCR 6500/1 (the Amiga keyboard controller, which has a few documented ways to read the mask ROM)?

@mrencyclopedia AMD or Nvidia (or even Intel)? I know there's the official Nvidia driver vs the open-source nouveau driver. AMD should be amdgpu, but could be the older radeon driver. Intel should be i915 in almost all cases.

@EposVox The industry lost a great man all those years ago. John helped embolden the PC gaming space at a critical point when consoles reached that fever pitch of glorified PC hardware. I still recall so many of his videos, his Starcraft 2 ladder matches were hilarious for not being competitive. I tried Planetside 2 almost exclusively because of him. I feel like he would be ballistic about today's AI-focused fake frame guff.

@EposVox Torchlight and its sequel is always a good time. FATE was a good junior ARPG, I didn't realize that one got remastered. I enjoyed what time I spent on How To Survive, though it leans more into the survival nature of things rather than generic ARPG.
