Thur 10/19: Let's work on the Apple II+ KiCad Schematic live! (Right now!). youtube.com/live/_R6WSO2lKi0?

This schematic is part of the Bit Preserve Github repo. That's where people use KiCad to redraw schematics for vintage computers.

From jlink commander: Savebin <file>, 0x10000000, <size>.

For future me, the next time I need it.

Anyone know how I can use a segger jlink mini to dump the EEPROM connected to an RP2040?

I want to make a backup of the existing binary before I flash it with a new one.

It’s a silly design, but I love my compact Banana-to-USB adapter.

KiCad 7's PDF plotting is pretty awesome... depending on the reader you use.

Early in my career, a technical mentor revealed two myths about the Nyquist theorem. I cover them both in this video.

Once again, a friendly reminder to all #vintagecomputing fans to

GET THE DAMN BATTERIES OUT!

Even this small amount of corrosion on this memory battery killed a Tandy 200 by eating away about 7mm of a critical trace. Easy fix with a wire, but this could have been WAY worse.

If you own or collect old computers, go through them NOW and make sure you get all the batteries out.

I'm seeing a growing number of people with programming and PCB design skills who do not understand how file paths work.

And this concerns me.

So. To get ahead on bills + to partially fund a trip I'm going to be going on next month, I'm probably going to be culling the hoard a bit.

Especially since I've unexpectedly gained a few systems I did not expect to gain.

If you're local to the South Bay Area, CA, and are potentially interested...watch this space. Cobbling together a price list.

EDIT: The list: docs.google.com/document/d/1bo

Are you in the general Denver/Boulder area? Do you want a Mac Classic II that is in a state of questionable functionality? We won't be able to ship these, but we do have a few that need new homes...

I'm having to use VSCode for a project, but what I want to know is where is the theme that makes it look like this?

New blog post! This is one of my favourite dumb projects to date: taking the hidden "Snail Maze" game out of the Sega Master System BIOS and turning it into a cartridge.

Sega has a rich history of weirdness, and I'm proud to do my part to help preserve that weirdness. #retrocomputing #retrogaming #sega #sg1000 #mastersystem #snails #kicad
