Package arrived from @FW4511 Is it weird that I really love the box? And I do need more Commodore Notebooks in my life
Visiting with a friend yesterday and he politely said, “This Commodore thing is close to obsession man.” “What do you mean?” I replied. He took my phone from my hand and turned it over. Okay, maybe just a little…
I happen to have a RedBird TD2 AND a mobile Commodore 64 running Kennedy Approach which is an Air Traffic Control game. How cool would it be to make a game that interfaces with the RedBird? I have an idea for a data interface…
Working at the airport office today but I don’t want to slow down. Mobile 64 rig for the win. The next cipher to tackle is RC4. This one might take more brain cells than I actually possess.
Stuff to play with and then review from DIY Chris came today. Gal PLA, 4146 RAM tester, flash-able Kernal/BASIC/character rom chip and an adapter for these types of chips for my 866 programmer.
My 128 trouble maker is on the mend. I’m short two 4146s to test completely but mail should bring them soon. Socketed now and even recapped a lot of the Ceramics too. Lower checks out anyway :)
Turns out serial cable was attached to a Keyspan. Double win and it only took me a half hour to find. Now who’s gonna clean up this mess?
Desoldering 16 memory chips with 16 pins each is NOT something one should do when feeling impatient. I got them all without a single lifted pad. This 128 will live to fight another day.
The next two parts of the Cipher series are on Symmetrical Encryption and the algorithms take quite a long time to run at 1Mhz. Having a portable rig has been really nice.
