Retro hobbyist, simulation/strategy gamer, and as some say an unusual person. I've been know to stream simulation/strategy games, computer aided design (horrible hobby level), or some of my electronics repair; mostly my retro hardware.

Currently recovering from a motor vehicle accident so streaming is random.

Ordered parts for two more PicoGUS which arrived today! Figured as I had three blank PCBs might as well make a couple more with one going to a friend for their retro DOS 6.22 build.
Time to cut v1.5. The sides are now cut from the empty space inside of the holding "squares" to reduce waste.

Well I ordered a "Toshiba T1000 Laptop Computer" off the normal auction site listed as "for parts/repair". Had to pull the trigger on it as it has EVERYTHING included, even the original manual/software and carrying case!

Now I feel I should do a retro laptop repair/demo stream...

Needed some more 3.5 in floppy holders and decided a new design was needed. This holds 10x 3.5 in floppies.

Things appear to be going smoothly as its booted from disk to complete the install.

Working to see if I can get "Coherent Unix 4.2.10" working on my "Alaris LEOPARD 486SLC2".

Another "Magnavox Professional Metalis SX-20" popped up on my eBay filter for cheap... So I ordered it in the hopes of it having a working screen so I can combine it with the one I currently own to make one good working example. Well see about streaming the process once I get the 2nd laptop.
@mos_8502 Bootstrap the SSD from another system?

For #StarTrekDay I've started re-watching 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine'. Anyone else feel like the first half of the first season is a bit hard to get through?
