Lets be clear the Strad is at 1.5 speed to make the comparison easier - and I don't even think that's much if a boost considering - but that's a good port. Got all the details, speech, tunnel sounds, flying bushes. It's a *lot* harder tho, narrow roads and actually having to steer is a trixy combo.

I just published the AHID Mouse, an open-source assistive HID device with a strain-based joystick and up to four sip-and-puff channels. Open hardware, open software, and under $20 in parts. If this sounds useful, a repost helps it find the right people: www.embedded-ideas.de/posts/260915...

For fun I put a IBM 5150 on the Internet as a web server. With lightweight text pages, it did the job just fine, serving pages directly from a 360k floppy disk. Separate proxy made them available over dual IPv4&6 stack and via SSL. What shall I get it to do next? 😍

Astroblast #VCS OK, I'll take the first hit. I got blown up. It's a fair cop. They cornered me good and proper. The next three (and it doesn't get any better) ; there's nothing there. It's a ruse. A con job. A load of old tosh. In the bin.

Google are cunts. If you sneak in at 1am your whole house shouts that your nest protect smoke alarms are out of date. Can I get new ones? No, Google has lost interest because it's terribly difficult to put an advert on a fkn smoke alarm. Would I ever buy Google hardware again if I could? No Fkn Way

I didnt really think speccy external interupts was feasible (I didn't even wire the pin up) due to its half implimentation. But with a little help from the wonderful resource of @breakintoprogram.co.uk website, there's a working hardware interrupt and the little zx carries on doing its BASIC thang.

Fuzzweed @fuzzweed.co.uk · 17/09/2026

Hey Mr @breakintoprogram.co.uk On the speccy interrupts page of your website, you start your interrupt routine with a DI. Looking at some other sites it says the DI is set automatically by the Z80. Is this belt and braces, or required in some circumstances? www.breakintoprogram.co.uk/hardware/com...
