New hotness: Dust off your Dycam 10-C or Chinon ES-3000 camera, take pictures while cosplaying Luke Skywalker with their magnificent sci-fi look, then just plug it to your #AppleII and do Digital Photography the right way. #QuicktakeForAppleII www.colino.net/wordpress/quicktake-…

A picture of the Dycam 10-C connected to the Apple II, showing a selfie of myself on the screen. The camera looks like a Star Wars prop.

Another one, with a different picture on the screen and a slightly different angle on the camera.

given the ubiquity of the commodore 64, and its recent re-entering manufacturing, it kind of makes sense for me to support it with the people's permacomputer project. the hardware the project currently supports is the LILYGO TTGO VGA32, an ESP32 based board. it is considerably cheaper than a […]
