I recently hacked #Elite on the #Acorn #Archimedes to send scores to a live scoreboard across an #Econet network.

I've just published a short article that explains how I did this.

I hope you like it!

Claimed!
Is this any use to anyone in the #retrocompting world? 10 Mb/s coax to UTP converter.

Everyone needs a place to do their serious computing.

Being able to print this very specific replacement part for my Commodore 1702 monitor is so cool #3dprinting #commodore #retro #Retrocompting

You probably guessed this about me already.

Here is some #Retrocompting porn for you. Donkey Kong on a TRS-80 #retrogame

Oh no, Oscar is on speed! #ILoveItBecauseItsTrash #Oscar #TheGrouch #RetroCompting

Wow, a friend just sent me this 1982 video, “Don’t Bother Me I’m Learning”, that includes a segment about our Marin Computer Center, and a brief interview with Annie Fox. I can be seen too but I didn’t talk. 41 years ago!

After rummaging through my spares, I’ve found an external firewire sata enclosure and a 60Gb sata hdd, and a power supply that works. Now cloning SorbetLeopard on to the firewire disk (as G4 Powerbooks lack the openfirmware support for usb booting).

It lives!

Aluminium Powerbook G4 still boots, and amazingly even joins my home wifi.

Sleek in its day, it’s definitely a chunky boy now.

Awwww yisssss #retrocompting #oldhardware #atkeyboard

Wow, another celeb joins topspicy! Please welcome @RFredW , programmer on many of my most fondly remembered spectrum games including fantasy world dizzy and wacky darts!

Some more #intriduction info: I'm in an open #polyamorous relationship. I live with my partner, our boyfriend and our dog, who is named beefy, which is short for Beef Wellington. He's a velvet hippo (American bully) and the bestest boy. My favorite computer is a Sparc LX because it got me into #Retrocompting but my microVAX II is a close second. I am #pierced in many places and have quite a bit of ink. My #tatts are all themed to the convergence of nature and technology.

Finally all the Lockdowns have paid off. Fully restored Mac Classic connected to the !@metalab IRC channel. 8 MHz/4 MB and rockin'

Next step - gopher!
