Did you ever wonder how people used BASIC on early home computers? One of the ways was typing in programs from magazines and running them! This recently launched site has tons of examples for many models, including Japanese ones but also models that were used all over the world code-recursion.tech

New blog post! I'm tired of my TRS-80 Colour Computer needing an old school RF connection to get video out. How about crudely jamming in a composite mod from an *entirely different* obscure computer? That'll work. #coco #trs80 #retrocomputing www.leadedsolder.com/2025/07/15/t...

CoCo1 composite video

When I got the CoCo, one of the big problems was the super-smeary, snowy video on the RF-out. Even though composite video is generated internally by the video circuitry of the computer, Tandy didn’t e...

New blog post! Hey kids. Have you ever wanted to display the Impressionist masters on your NEC PC-6001 home computer system? Apparently I have. Let's learn some Z80 assembly and, more importantly, how the PC-6001 graphics work. #retrocomputing #pc6001 #z80 www.leadedsolder.com/2025/06/24/p...

I listed my (new+unopened) ZX Spectrum Next Accelerated Issue 2 on eBay as I have never even opened the box. Hopefully it will find an appreciative new home! www.ebay.com/itm/20535341...

I just listed a blue MSXVR Virtualizer on eBay. It's a one-week auction with the winning buyer paying shipping as calculated by eBay. The computer works well, I just have not been using it often enough to justify the space it needs. www.ebay.com/itm/20525316...

This computer works well but I find I don't use it often enough to justify keeping it. I believe this blue case is a "special" color which is not currently available from the manufacturer. There are a...

PSA: If you have a system with Windows 9x and it has the Windows Update dir (C:\Program Files or A:\ on the #PC98), ESPECIALLY if it is not in the EN language, please back these up as the WU Restored project is seeking these (share them to MSFN/the Discord) #retrocomputing windowsupdaterestored.com

Over on a different site I wrote a bit about getting the #EXAS BASIC Compiler and its Runtime Package working without a PC-6006 RAM/ROM cartridge, using just OCR'ed magazine type-ins, emulators, and a new loader. It makes these great old tools a bit more accessible mastodon.social/@bsittler/11...

@mills5.bsky.social any idea where the 1-second voice snippet at the end of Side B of the PC-6001/mkII / PC-6601 release of T&ESoft's Trick Boy might originate, and/or what it might mean? It's where I expected to see a short low-frequency pulse indicating end of side mega.nz/file/u7oXxBr...
