Today's vintage computer pick-up number 1: PowerMac G4 :Mirror drive bay, FireWire800 version.

Sadly, this version is not capable of running OS9 naively.... out of the box anyway. Some clever folks online seem to have found ways to make it work.'

So far I've had no luck with the burned CD but I'm going to keep trying...

This is not a Commodore 64 garbled screen, this is an action maze chase game under development in a C programming language 😎 😀

We’ve been focusing on climate monitoring this month & today is the birthday of Thomas Stevenson, designer of the Stevenson screen in the 1800s

We still use Stevenson screens today to provide shade for thermometers, making sure readings are accurate & consistent

Good Morning, Everyone!

Today it is my pleasure to present to you another notable #commodore #8bit machine - the #commodore16 !!

And once more it's a low-entry system: the third model of the "264" product line (along with the C116 and the Plus/4).

It features a 7501 or 8501 CPU (depends on model), a 6510 compatible chip, 16KB of DRAM (faster than the C64 DRAM), the TED video chip (320x200 pixels with 121 colors). The ROM contains BASIC 3.5 as well as a machine monitor. Sound capabilities are quite limited: 2 "Voices", one of them can only produce square waves, but 3-bit digital sound was possible.

But let's face it, one of the most remarkable features of the C16 is the dark gray case witht the lighter gray keys! I mean, this is what the C64 should've looked like!!

Have You ever used Basic compilers on C64? In this video I covered two basic compilers, Basic-Boss and Blitz!, and You will see how easy it is to use them.
