@Dbug That, but also have a 3V and a 5V bus for different internal (future/development) components (for example the IDE port you can see there), MIDI internal port (to connect a Dreamblaster X2), etc.

I see a lot of people talking about how Mastodon "Feels like the Internet I remember from 20 years ago."

That's no accident. That's Federation. That's UseNet, IRC, Email, Message Boards, etc. What do they all have in common?

Federation: Users congregating around watering holes of common interest, but still being a part of a larger whole.

THIS IS HOW THE INTERNET WAS DESIGNED TO BE. And I am HERE for it.

This is my "Atari STe": a new board made by Exxos, the Phoenix. Almost all parts taken from a donor and installed, by me, in this one. Lots of improvements compared with the original.

@Dbug Thanks!
Yeah, I know, the TTs are expensive; I'm waiting for a good deal.
As for the STe, I'm actually building one, based on Exxos' Phoenix board. Will post pictures later.

@stevelord I do want to do real software/hardware development in the Falcon, I just need to find time.
As for the Stacy, I use it together with my dot-matrix printer and make holiday cards. :ablobjoy:
But, mainly, I have them as collection items.

@mardonet It's a replica. Let me know if you want the info of the kit.

@Wintermute_BBS Thanks! The backlight of the screen was broken, and I was fortunate to find a replacement. You can check here on how I disassembled it: vintagecomputers.code.blog/

"This situation" (for the people that knows what I'm talking about) must be similar to what happened to : you can buy the brand, but still kill the spirit of a company.

Let's start with the obvious: my fascination with (and, in the picture, part of my collection of) computers and, in general, vintage computing.

How to deal with a slow computer and an unsupported OS like Win11 on that computer? Install #línux and be done with it. You just saved bunch of monies :P
