on the move – Page 3 – Michael Doornbos

This is just the summer book pile that’s on my nightstand. There’s another this high on my office desk. Good thing I’m a fast reader :)

Atari VCS/2600 composite video mod is pretty straightforward. What better game to smoke test with than Yars’ Revenge :) #atari

‪Picture is actually really decent (for a VCS) through the Retrotink. Another 2600 back in service. ‬

Before work this morning I got an okayish mod to the “worlds worst paper tape reader” working. Now can somewhat reliably read the sprocket holes and use them as a timing signal. Super happy at this point and I may call this “complete”. #kim1 #commodore

Same price for 1-25.125 Mhz clock as 16 of them. So now I have 15 spares…

Guy up the road from me called and said he found this unopened laptop in storage and do I want it? I literally just pulled the plastic off of an Everex 386. The screen contrast/over brightness needs work and the hard drive is toast. 40 pin DIP EEPROM is kinda neat.

Rereading this book today. Seems important at the moment for so many reasons.

I was feeling like living dangerously today so I broke out Schrodinger’s cat of computers. The cat is alive today ;-) #commodore #plus4

Broke out the PC-4 to use for my day job today. Post by @HeyBirt reminded me how great it is :)

Look who has developed a RAM fault. My least favorite machine in my collection.

Okay, so I got off on a bunny-trail working out how to get Jim Butterfield’s Lunar Lander for the KIM-1 printed on paper tape. Back off man, I’m a scientist! #commodore #kim1
