Does anyone need a new screen saver !?

The FedEx delivery driver for my route absolutely REFUSES to deliver to my building, no clue why. Marks every package for every resident as "not home" Customer support cant issue a hold on the package, said that's the shipper's responsibility to setup and they have it locked down.

Floppy controller entirely removed. Booted fully from network. Loaded game entirely from network. This is now one of the most awesome and advanced Apple IIe units in the entire world!! :D

Created a mounting plate for the MFM emulator to shove into the Corvus OmniDrive, so I'm not stressing out a 40yr old spinning relic anymore. And this also means I'll be more comfortable taking this setup to shows (VCF PNW !?) so others can play with NETWORK BOOTING AN APPLE IIE

Bad news, maybe some good news...? Something went wrong when I did this initial setup, it only used 1/4th the HDDs available space without the option to reclaim, so I have to start all over again. Good news, figured out how to actually copy software to the drive! #PROGRESS

How about both new toys at once !?!? #OtterX running through the #RetroTINK 6X CE over VGA/HD15 480p upscaled up 1440p (monitor native res) The 6X CE is pulling about 5w power, significantly less than the 4k does from my previous testing

For anyone that may need the #RetroTINK infrared remote codes for any reason whatsoever, I've cataloged FIVE of the remotes so far! (I think that's all of them currently..?) You can see the list over here, PR submitted for #FlipperZero IRDB as well: github.com/darkain/Flip... @retrotink.com

My Win98 Retro Rig has been dead for months. Press power button, LEDs flash for a split second, then PSU shuts off. Let's see if I can figure this out!!! EVERYTHING involving power delivery is custom designed in this machine, so I do know it all quite well, but no idea yet what is failing.

I have 2 remaining drives from a 3-drive RAID-Z1 setup. I can only mount 1 at a time... So let's mount it, image it to my local drive as a disk image inside of a ZFS dataset. And then md those images, zpool import from those, and SEND/RECV the dataset inside to the host!
