Marc TriusHey smart <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/RetroTechnology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroTechnology</a> people, how hard and expensive would it be to create a miniature copper wire telephone network at home with some old rotary phones and a switchboard from eBay?

IrishMASMSOk, I spent yesterday afternoon trying to get <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/RAID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RAID</a> configured on my <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/lenovo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lenovo</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ThinkPad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThinkPad</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/P70" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#P70</a> - to no success.

Sinclair-SpeccyEhh... since new people are joining, I might as well update my old intro. Thankfully, my instance allows for a higher word count on posts! I am Sinclair-Speccy, your resident computer nerd. I go by Sinclair, Speccy, Sinco, Altair, or even Alphonse. My primary interests are <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a>, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/OldTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OldTech</a>, and <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/OStan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OStan</a>. You’ll usually find me boosting retro tech content and occasionally posting it myself, mostly retro tech ads. I’m fascinated by vintage mainframes like the IBM 704, CDC 6500, and Whirlwind I as well as microcomputers such as the Altair 8800 and MK14, but I am not old enough to have ever used them in person.I’ve moved around a bit online as I started on .art, then bitbang.social and now oldbytes.space. When not geeking out over computers I enjoy experimenting with older operating systems using emulators like 86Box, VirtualBox, Bochs, and QEMU or playing games such as the Sims 4, Sims 3, Arma 3 and Universe Sandbox. My interest in emulation all started when I managed to run Yggdrasil Linux from the '90s!I also do 3D rendering in Bryce 3D which I mainly post on my account for my website (<a href="https://sakurajima.moe/@themainframe" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://sakurajima.moe/@themainframe</a>) which also hosts content on my 3 worldbuilding settings and I share some of my work on DeviantArt. One of my favourite niche fandoms is OS-tans which is turning operating systems and hardware into anime characters. I even have my own OS-tan universe that is hosted on my site.Musically I vibe with <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/vaporwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vaporwave</a>, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/synthwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#synthwave</a>, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/darksynth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#darksynth</a>,<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/phonk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#phonk</a>, and experimental music. Some favorite artists include Windows96, Dynatron, Carpenter Brut, KSLV Noh, and Frums.

IrishMASMSPart 2/3 Though this has a 64-bit processor, let me try the Win10 x86 32-bit LTSP installer from 2019: and it worked! The install went fine, but it ran dog slow. I used the native browser to download and then upgraded the <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/BIOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BIOS</a> to the latest for the W510 and everything was noticeably slow. Unfortunately, most of the tools I want to use are 64-bit so this version of Win10 is not really an option. To test & try to troubleshoot, I installed the latest version of <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Debian</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a>. The install went fine, and the user experience was much better than the 32-bit Win10 – no real noticeable slowness. Ok, Linux is an option – but not what I had planned for this laptop. Let me wipe the drive (getting rid of <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/GRUB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GRUB</a>) and retry installing Win11 or Win10 LTSP. Now when I boot with either Win11 or Win10 LTSP <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/USBs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USBs</a> the windows logo flashes and the dreaded black screen with blinking cursor appears. We don’t even get the option to install…. (Ugh!) Currently I booted into <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ShredOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ShredOS</a> and am wiping the drive as a load test. <a

The keyboard is virtually identical, though the platen and print head are different. Instead of the platen being a rubber roller, there is a slot with guides, into which you drop a standard-sized plastic film sheet - a <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/fiche" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fiche</a>.The type element - the "ball" - is identical to a normal Selectric element, except for size. It's only a few millimetres in diameter. Typing is virtually silent, because the ball moves only a tiny, tiny amount at a time, so little you don't even notice it unless you watch for a full line of type.Above the fiche slot is a small-ish translucent rear-projection screen, which shows the text of the page you're currently typing. Operators work in a dimly-lit room, and their faces are bathed in a diffuse, soft white light.<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/retro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retro</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/RetroTechnology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroTechnology</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/RetroFuture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroFuture</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/TypeElement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TypeElement</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/TypewriterBall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TypewriterBall</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ShouldHaveBeen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ShouldHaveBeen</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ShouldHave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ShouldHave</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/If" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#If</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/invention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#invention</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/1960s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#1960s</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/typewriter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#typewriter</a>[1] Or <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/microfilm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#microfilm</a>
