In other #modeltrains unrelated news .... I'm currently having a #Class47 identify crisis.... So bad that ones actually a #Hornby #Class56! A video for Trains On Two maybe? The slightly off #helijan 47s, when a #Danish firm makes a #OO #BritishRail model locomotive...

I'd absolutely love the challenge of refurbishing this Commodore PET, but there's no way I'm paying £363 for it! 😮 ebay.io/m/MOTqsu

Two-player #BBCMicro Elite will be a deep-space dogfight game The rest of Elite wouldn’t be that exciting with two players, so I’m sticking to the core combat experience When you fire it up, you can choose what kind of contest you want Here's the all-new config screen 🚀 Game on! #retrocomputing

Managed to finally get hold of a personal unicorn machine! Been after one for a very long time! This is my Indata DAI. An incredibly rare beast from 1980. A monster spec that was reflected in the cost at the time. Lovely. ZX80 for scale 😁 (didn't have a banana)

A fix or rather an upgrade to USB-C power for the #TheC64... I've been struggling with reliability unit due to the flakey Micro USB socket. This mod which fits a USB-C power port to a 'The #C64' fixing the power issues and allowing the use of #RaspberryPi 4/5 PSU. youtu.be/z-SATV5Ni6I #Commodore

A huge thank you to Andy Marks of @RISCOSbits for kindly donating a custom #RISC_OS 5 ROM image allowing my #Acorn RISCPC to use #NVMe SSD natively - meaning the machine now runs entirely solid state. This build should be at @tnmoc next month & @computermuseum in November! youtu.be/cC5V9fj-QKk
