Yes… a new video is in the works. Most of the filming done today save for one last bit which I’ll get to in a day or so, but I have enough footage to start editing. 😁

Quick #retrocomputing question...

Where's your nearest #floppy?! and what's on it!

Mine's a diagnostic floppy for a #compaq 286 laptop.
A picture of a 3.5 inch floppy laying atop a PCI-X card of some kind. The label reads "Compaq Diag 286" it is hand-written.

At one time, Syquest was the king of removable hard drives. But cheaper forms of mass storage did them in, and 27 years ago today, Syquest filed bankruptcy. This blog post looks at their rise and fall. #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing dfarq.homeip.net/the-rise-and...

Two other pictures from yesterday's Insert Coin 3 retrogaming event. In these pictures it's easy to guess who just scored a point against their opponent!

A couple playing Shufflepuck. At the front, a man is laughing, seemingly happy. Behind, their partner's looking at them sideways :-) A father and his son. The father is grinning, while the son has his hands over his mouth and nose.

Last week was mostly cleaning up a few weeks worth of sins... plus a healthy dose of overengineering. Not sure if I did myself a favor, but at least it was fun.

Pacman on an Amstrad CPC 6128. Unfortunately, there's bad banding on the CRT display in this photo that's not there in real life.

Ok so I need a faster machine but something still squarely mid 90’s for a project. This should do great. Pentium 133MHz, 32MB RAM, CF-IDE for storage. Also PSU.

I've been working on a Canon Typestar 5 this weekend for its smaller case, faster print speed, and larger footprint and I have to say...

I hate it. It's heavier than my Typestar 3, the print isn't as dark, and it gets confused with multiple keypresses. Skip it. #retrocomputing #typewriter
