Wing Commander was fun, but my favourite space sim control panel of all time was Frontier Elite II (on the Amiga, of course!) 🥰

An external Gotek, a large MicroSD card to put CaffeineOS on, and a MicroHDMI->HDMI lead so my Pistorm could finally be plugged into my monitor. Gave Civilization a spin! Now all I need is A1200.net to finally ship my CD32 keycaps (been waiting 7 years now) and the setup is complete.

Last night I ordered £50 worth of capacitors to recap my Sony GDM-20SE1T, which is humming in standby and green tinged. Also added diodes, a bridge rectifier and a few other bits to replace. Epic recap coming up…

Enjoying trading in Frontier Elite II, one of my all time favourite games. My Sony monitor has taken a turn for the green however, I suspect it needs a re-cap

Dusted off the Amiga today. Still waiting on my CD32 coloured A1200.net keycaps 😅 Regardless, have pre-ordered their new Mechanical Keyboard. Need to sort out a case badge, service the internal floppy drive and get this thing online (It thankfully has a PiStorm inside)
