Well the cube no longer turns on, I took it apart to fix the handle and the optical drive. I guess worst case scenario I can sell it for parts. Obviously I haven’t given up yet, but I won’t have time to do anything for the next two weeks #retrocomputing #xp
Dismantling an Apple G4 Cube is tricky, I just need to fix the bloody optical drive and handle lock and I’m struggling. #retrocomputing #xp
Replacing electrolytic capacitorps now, then I’m going to slowly put replacement components in and wire the connections back up that were eaten by Varta. Wish me luck! 🤞
Cool micros!
Plus at least one Oric-1 and Atmos and my 6502 homebrew computer doing a special homage for the class of '82 machines 🤓👍🏽👍🏽
Be there, or be *not* square!😅🤗🙏🏽

I sometimes use the-saleroom to find retro stuff, it’s effectively a middle-man service for live auctions. The problem is that I sometimes forget when I’ve bid on stuff - like the Plus 4 that I’ve apparently won … #retrocomputing #xp

New video! I'm checking out the external #Lazarusstorm #PiStorm accelerator adapter for the #Amiga500. #Retrocomputing #RaspberryPi #Commodore #Amiga https://youtu.be/HJdxt1ft5Es
These are pages that are popping up as I try to find more software for the Basic Master computers, including this list of computers - a few of which I've never heard of #retrocomputing #xp http://www2d.biglobe.ne.jp/~oga/pc/oldpc/index.html
Look at this beauty, this is the display that would have been paired with the lovely Hitachi MB-6880 https://www.knowfixregulat.buzz/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1311

I’ve cleaned the cable up, now that I’ve got the load wire, and connected it directly to my Mac - it’s got further #retrocomputing #xp
Ok it errored, but I can’t believe this Frankenstein mess worked this much. I’m using the Bluetooth tape in the deck and playing the sound from my MacBook #retrocomputing #xp
The Halo TV series feels like they didn’t think they were getting a second series so they decided to speed-run every plot point in one.
Its a shame, because I like the fact they tried to do something different with the story. #xp
I've finally managed to find one tape wav for the Hitachi Basic Master - now I just need to work out the pinout for the cassette port #retrocomputing #xp
One of the things retro collecting and filmmaking has in common is that when someone says something is affordable … it just isn’t #xp
I’ve got a video on in the background whilst I’m working, it’s a YouTuber who downloads rubbish mobile games and plays them. As part of the joke he gives them 5 star jokey reviews. I realise it’s part of the joke but all I can think is he’s boosting the scores for scammy ad filled content flips #xp
