Remember the Franken Concerto? It’s ugly as sin, but it can stand on its own leg. It’ll be at VCF Midwest along with other Compaq portables. Someone has to represent Compaq.

This is my very first attempt at PCB design. It’s an adapter that allows you to install a standard CF to IDE adapter in a Compaq LTE & LTE 286. There were… issues. Like holes being too small and being built upside down. These will be for sale in May if not sooner. Of course built correctly.

On Saturday's (25th) noon eastern stream, we're going to install one of @ronscompvids.bsky.social's MacPicoVid VGA output devices in a Macintosh Plus and hopefully work on one of @techambr.bsky.social's power supplies. youtube.com/live/qxAVgqy...
