Received this from eBay. Did code a lot with it in the 80ies, excellent BASIC dialect. Alas all my code using it is lost as I unfortunately reused all the tapes containing that code. #RetroComputing #8bit #ZXSpectrum #BetaBASIC

Attended the yearly ROX (RiscOs eXperience) last Saturday. Lots of ARM-related stuff, but also *lots* of 8-bit fans ;-) ROX is organized by the Dutch Acorn / ARM user group, BigBenClub.nl I was a member in the 1980s, and rejoined a couple of years ago. Hobbyists young and old are welcome ;-)

A little reorganising to also permanently connect my new Acorn Archimedes A310. Think this is really maxing out space, so no new computers for this desk 😉 #Retro #RetroComputing #Commodore #Acorn #Commodore128 #AcornArchimedes

Exciting new addition to my retro collection: an Acorn Archimedes A310. Expanded with a.o. ARM3, 4MB. The start of the ARM architecture. Now the puzzle to get color picture on any of my monitors and getting to learn the machine, but it is alive! #retro #acorn #AcornArchimedes #RISCOS

Sometimes, just working on the small things helps getting the project going forward, so today it's a greetings page to celebrate other people making software for the Oric (from oric.org, the last 5 years), hopefully I forgot nobody!

My C128 ‘flat’ had only 16 KB VDC RAM and a broken SID. So placed a SaRuMan VDC and an ARMSID. #retro #8bit #commodore #commodore128 #SaRuManVDC #ARMSID

Risen from Oblivion system analysis screen showing 64 KB is now detected.
