This is a fun project: Use FFMPEG to simulate the sound of audio cassettes. I converted a few albums and it sounds extremely authentic. github.com/AARomanov198...

There is a new AMI BIOS customizer and option ROM injector for 386SX-era boards. Super cool and I can't wait to try this out. youtube.com/watch?v=f-AG...

Made a new AMI BIOS Editor (AthAMIed). Enable hidden options. Inject Option ROMs.

I have been playing around with a production Lisa FPGA board and it's so cool. What an amazing project! I had a small issue with an incompatible SD card, but we got that sorted. AFAIK, Joe still has some that aren't reserved yet: jcm-1.com/product-cate...

You don't need a tool to remove these keys! #ti99life

Jobs is wondering if the "twiggy" drivers were a good idea.

It's Friday night troubleshooting with the Commodore Amiga 3000: I'm checking into the machine's flicker-fixer woes. It's very nice to be able to run this machine without the riser installed! 😂

If you're into Commodore and you're in or around Seattle this weekend, you need to check out this show! Unfortunately, I will not be there.

I love so much about all this.

If you missed Alex's talk at VCFSW talking about his new LisaFPGA project, I highly recommend a watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QSP...

This is what I love to see! Aaron reverse engineered the Apple /// Profile interface card and released it as OSH, so any Apple /// owner can now get up and running with a Profile hard drive. (Incidentally AlexTheCat's ESProfile emulator works with the Apple ///) github.com/PCGamerAaron...

FFS!! To update my supporter scroll on my videos, I have to manually download the YouTube Member list from the Youtube Creator Studio as a CSV. Fine, only takes a few clicks. I just went to do this, and the download button just doesn't do anything. Logged out & back in again: still broken. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

I really appreciate that someone daily drives this AW11 Toyota MR2! The 80s angular looks are too cool.

Nifty! This newly revived web tool allows you to convert an animated GIF into a NES (ROM) which will play the gif on real NES hardware. I love stuff like this! k6lcm.github.io/nesflix-web/ Thanks @levimaaia.com for the neat video and history on the tool.

Everything about this makes me smile. Thank you @gloriouscow.bsky.social for doing something so cool and fun! martypc.blogspot.com/2026/05/60fp...

Hot take: The classic Amiga has the most crappy and brittle filesystems of any retro computer. (I'm talking about Fast File System.) You just look at it wrong and it gets corrupted. To make matters worse, the included "disk doctor" tool is worthless hot garbage...

Here's a new one: My Amiga 600 has been acting up lately, slow, filesystem getting corrupted, block errors, etc. It turns out the 16GB PNY SD card I was using for the boot drive took a huge crap. No matter which card reader or computer I plug it into, it only ever runs about this fast. WTF!

Trashpicked 9" monitor: So filthy but it must be saved!

I seem to have no spare working Amiga floppy drives around, so I just setup a Teac FD-235HF-3240 to work with the Amiga. If you have a 3XXX version of this drive, there are bunch of small jumpers: Set RY34 (Ready signal on pin 34) and DC2 (Disk change on pin 2.) Then set DS0, FG, HA, HF and NMK.

After a wonderfully successful VCF PNW in Seattle, the Plexus P/20 is now in the hands of the Interim Computer Museum! icm.museum Coming soon to a telnet session near you.

It’s official! The PLEXUS P/20 is coming to icm.museum thanks to Adrian’s Digital Basement - multiuser Tetris matches commence soon. #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing #retrogaming

A friend just shared this with me. They were installing Windows 3.1 and noticed a particular printer listed as part of the built-in printer driver set. Amazing!

Reminder! VCF PNW in Seattle is coming up. I'll be one of the exhibitors, so if you're in the area, please come and say hi and stay for the retro goodness.

I have a Basic Fractal Benchmark on this Google Sheet: If anyone has cool computers with 80-columns and BASIC, try running this little program while timing it. Report back so I can add it to the leaderboard. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I've been doing more "stuff" with the Agfa Compugraphic 9000PS main processor board. It's really fun playing with this relic that no one cares about.

We just had record rain in Portland and it resulted in some water in the basement. 😢 Luckily I have water sensors, so I was alerted right away. It just means I need to reinforce the water proofing system for this one specific spot (which was around my water main.) And try to dry the moisture...

This floppy is like the TARDIS. It might look like a normal 1.2mb floppy, but apparently it has 4 gigs of bad sectors on it!

As the #PicoIDE campaign on Crowd Supply enters its final hours (www.crowdsupply.com/polpotronics...), @ctrl-alt-rees.com has come out with a fantastic video all about the PicoIDE! And wow it looks good in that baby AT case. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MG_t...
