This is an absolute horror show of a video, I don't know how the hell I didn't see all this damage before. (Obviously it all happened while it was in the royal mail network) Lee's an absolute hero/necromancer for rescuing my 1200 like this. REPLACE YOUR CAPS, FOLKS!

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? 😍

I feel this very keenly. Just today I finished an Amiga 1200 repair and started looking for a mouse for testing. My workshop is a disaster area and all I could find were two broken ones. I ended up driving to storage to get one. 40 minute round trip.

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...

Been a while since this went into early access and I cant remember too much about the repair now. So why don't you watch it and tell me all about it :D I might even watch it myself! Wondering how a pink workbench would go down with the viewing public now. Big Clive would be proud for sure.

Can't imagine what you're both going through, and I hope I never find out. But most importantly I hope you both get this behind you as swiftly as medically possible. I'm glad she has you looking out for her.

Time for another C64 repair. I'm chipping away at the pile, which I show in this video! Also, don't worry. That's my regular curiosity face. I'm not constipated.

Good fun at the @computinghistory.org.uk meet up today. I took some of last year’s RetroFest exhibits to show - Sinclair QL with Schön keyboard and my CST Thor - along with something I’ve never seen at any retro event, the Mancomp replacement keyboard for the ZX Spectrum. Should do a feature on it.

My show and tell exhibits today, the Mancomp spectrum board replacement where you take the dead flesh off the top of your machine and rest it in the provided space on the lower moulding. Interface 1 space is provided and there’s a hole on the right for the PSU to poke out of.

Underneath is the QL with very excellent Schön keyboard and QL Medic disk interface WITH CASE (not many of those escaped) and the CST Thor which is a QL with a custom expansion board containing ram, serial io, floppy and hard disk (scsi) and an IBM XT keyboard.

Why the Lambda 8300 ROM was calling itself Kamaca 8200, why the keys were not showing the right thing when pressed, and why bits of the screen weren't quite in the right place.

Find out what the Kamaca 8200 is, and also the Mimssqek 4sg.
