Got #lotusworks running (off single floppy!) on my #amstradppc

Just about room to start a todo database...

Did the #Amiga have anything like major office software? What about industrial control applications?

I know it was famous as a game computer and a CGI computer but did it have any lesser known niches? #retrocomping

Lunchtime #Apple2 fun - fitted a Europlus with a PAL coder card. The video wire had broken off, so I replaced it. Now I have colour! #retrocomping

Anyone in Japan, especially in the Tokyo area, have a Mac SE/30 they're willing to part with? #macse30 #retrocomping

I'm really inspired by people making old games that actually run in dos. My game is really only restricted by the palette and resolution and it's otherwise a modern engine.

I guess my hope is that I use the extra power for meaningful features that wouldn't be possible on old hardware rather than just wasting it on modern computing bloat. Stuff like the goal-based npc behavior planning and world simulation.

Pretty crusty. Any recommendations on an ultrasonic cleaner? #marchintosh #SE30 #retrocomping

Finally found a reasonably priced copy of Steve Cartwright's "Hacker" for the Commodore 64.

Have no intention of playing it (don't even have the hardware), just love this cover. Planning on framing it and hanging it up in my office.

Commodore 16 is alive! Now only if I knew BASIC 3.5! #retrocomping #c16 #commodore

Something is wrong…yes I do have a regular SE logic board inside but with four RAM sticks. Either all the ram isn’t showing or they are four 128k sticks - was that ever a thing?! #Macintosh #retrocomping

I think it’s time to let go of some #retrocomping kit.. would anyone be interested in an Apple ][, Monitor ///, 2xDrive ][s, quite a few cards, including Microsoft Z80 SoftCard, EPROM Programmer & many books? Won’t split, in Kent, England; could deliver in-area.. Would any computing museum be interested? Worked last time I used it, will probably need electrolytic capacitors replacing. I’d appreciate a boost, thanks!

Something to do with my old C64, set it up for doing 2FA, because why not http://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2022/11/meet-your-new-two-factor-authenticator.html
