I was privileged to see this in person, what a piece of history 😍
Binary Dinosaurs@binarydinosaurs.co.uk · 11mo agoStart the week with a unicorn! No, not the Torch Unicorn though I'd quite like one of those too. No, there'll be two camps for this one. You'll either instantly know what it is or, more likely, you'll never have heard of it because it never sold. This is the HH Tiger, aka the Tangerine Microtan 2.
Managed to finally get hold of a personal unicorn machine! Been after one for a very long time! This is my Indata DAI. An incredibly rare beast from 1980. A monster spec that was reflected in the cost at the time. Lovely. ZX80 for scale 😁 (didn't have a banana)
Very much looking forward to building the new PiDP-1 Rack kit that’s just arrived 😍 @oscar-ceds.bsky.social
A truly wonderful place to visit and staff and volunteers aren’t bad either 😎

Being a bit lazy today but I really need to sort through this box of boards
You can’t beat an MK-14 for a wonderful piece of history. I’m really looking forward to getting this one working again 😍
Only the RS232 expansion to get and I can move on to another obsession 😂
On Saturday Thomas and I went on a MEGA road trip to the @shortcircuit.org.uk guys @petescircuit.bsky.social and @heredragons.be in glorious Sandgate in Kent. We had the best day there and the video of that trip will be coming very soon! Thank you Tony and Pete!

The start of a big adventure! This lovable little Spectrum has embarked on a trip around the world where it will visit many retro and vintage tech people along the way. Started off by @2600.me who handed it to me, it's visited the @retrocollective.co.uk and is now in the safe hands of YARC Todd.
The Roaming ZX Spectrum's Adventure Begins!

He may not be a Red Arrow but John does make exceedingly good videos. This one on the OSI Superboard II & UK101 is well worth a watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=93XW...

There’s a real thrill in seeing this for the first time, I got it when I made the Atari 2600 / GameBoy cart and Speccy tape and have it again with the Master System cart. This isn’t the final cart, it won’t fit in a case (or properly in the SMS) with a chip holder #IndieDev #RetroDev #RetroGaming

Transparent labels have arrived and are applied. I also added a couple of extra bits. 😍 There's no way this printer design is coincidental.
This is a great new podcast that’ll be reaching out to people from all different levels in the retro community and as it’s Lee it’s just like people are catching up with an old pal 😀
