Tribute to the revolutionary Amiga 1000, which pushed digital audiovisuals to new heights in 1985.

I loved the Amiga conversion of Marble Madness, and completing the game with a joystick was harder than using a mouse.

The Pig and her poster have been reunited. MissPiggy ran XENIX-11 at Microsoft from 1979 to 1987. These days, misspiggy runs Version 7 UNIX from which XENIX was derived and its disks are virtualized so they can run under simulation and the real hardware.

Please support our preservation efforts at icm.museum

We have a partial backup of MissPiggy and one day hope to run XENIX-11 on it once again.

This is astonishingly impressive: A2Stream

"A2Stream simultaneously receives an .a2stream file from any HTTP server and plays it through the stock Apple II speaker circuit using pulse-width modulation at 22050Hz sample rate with ~5.17 bit resolution."

Demo video with direct line-in - sounds amazing:

Gotta love good ol' 1-bit pixel dithering (ordered, Floyd-Steinberg, etc.) 💚

We should launch a Europe-wide team effort to collectively acquire this incredible #Macintosh collection—and then thoughtfully distribute it across the continent, making sure it finds the right hands in every corner of Europe.

CatawikiApple Vintage Mega Collection - Museum worthy - 80's - 00's - Macintosh - In original boxImportant note regarding the contents: Please note that not all boxes contain their devices. For example, the large box of empty iPhone (6/7/8) packaging, and the Macintosh SE boxes do not contain the computers themselves, but instead hold other Apple items. This applies similarly to other items such as the Performa Plus Display, Macintosh IIsi, Workgroup Server 6150, iMac G3 (tray-loading, blue), and Mac Pro. this has been clearly indicated in the photos. All other boxes do contain their original and matching devices. Current Storage Space Dimensions: The collection currently occupies a storage room of approximately 3.70 meters deep, 4.70 meters wide, and 3.00 meters high. This gives you an idea of the overall volume and scale of the collection. Please note: Everything visible in the photos is included in the sale, except for the storage shelves. Due to the age of the equipment, functionality cannot be guaranteed. However, all internal batteries have been professionally removed to prevent corrosion, helping preserve the hardware in excellent condition. Pickup & Logistics: Pickup is possible at the storage location in Beverwijk, the Netherlands. The collection is located on the second floor of a commercial building, accessible by a freight elevator (max. 1500 kg). The site features a loading dock suitable for trucks. Smaller vans (max height: 260 cm) can drive inside the building. Free transport carts are available for loading assistance.

»The layers of the electronics industry chain are heavily interdependent and long-term strategic advantages can only be achieved when all layers are available and provide state-of-the-art products. Increasing foreign penetration into the European industry chain, accomplished for instance by offering instant profits, decreases its strengths and creates undesirable dependencies.«

@rasteri @TechTangents speaking of #storage: A main annoyance I found is that whilst there are #IDE -> #SATA adaptors that can just be plonk'd directly onto the mainboard, they are always either single-port or these weird "bidirectional" ones which means instead of a jumper/switch to say what side is the drive have two SATA ports and can only use one at the time.

  • There seems to be no IDE -> 2x SATA ports with like "master"/"slave" ports for SATA devices.

I know why these adaptors exist, so that there needs to be no manual printed (silkscreen explains everything) and only 1 part be made regardless if IDE-> SATA or SATA->IDE.

Still doesn't make it less annoying.

  • Maybe someone wants to take a look at the "stupider" IDE->SATA Adaptors and consider designing an IDE -> Dual-SATA adaptor?

I guess @rasteri and other #PC104 users can now get the beloved #ISA-#USB #Flashdrive card with native PC104 pinout to stack on boards.

  • Not that this is much of an engineering feat, as PC/104 is just a different form factor of ISA, but still nifty for #legacy / #industrial setups that may want to have more flexibility re: data storage.

I wounder if anyone got those ISA-USB controllers to work on #Linux distros tho.

  • Obviously they're slow (according to @TechTangents in the realm of a 1x CD-ROM drive) and not bootable, but still useful for systems without native USB ports.

I sadly don't have any system with ISA or PC/104 at hand (gotta build one i.e. #tiny486) so I can't test it anyway, but maybe a future revision of the #WeeCee may benefit from such an option (which I think also has the potential to be a good "bridge machine" for people dealing with legacy / industrial systems...
