After listening to an episode of @GUp80s with @DarrenFoulds and @8BitShowAndTell I’ve gotten back into one of my favorite games: Mastermind. So simple, but it’s a good conference call thing. There’s a great port of the IBM version to the 64.
My childhood best friend has never really been on social media and checks email every other week. I asked his wife the best way to chat with him. He overheard the conversation on the phone and sarcastically said “mail me a floppy”. I thought, well okay, 3.5 or 5.25? #thatwaseasy
10 Minute lunchtime progress: My 6502 experiment board is fully working. Love the way this turned out. #commodore
I haven’t done HAM radio stuff in a couple years now, but this combination may rekindle this interest. My call sign is N4LNX #commodore #c64 #hamradio
Off on a pre workout tangent this morning. Decided to dump the SID output for 16Mb to look for evidence of that 23 bit LFSR. I can’t actually find repeats at all and this should be 24 bits. #commodore #c64
10 minute evening progress: This is moved over from the breadboard onto a compact (and neat) PCB. Last thing is the Arduino HAT daughterboard, but I’m thrilled with this at the moment. How it started, how it’s going. It’s got #commodore bones anyway ;-) 6502 is my favorite.
10 minute lunchtime progress: Making headway in Cipher Series Part 6 where we talk about the magic of XOR in data integrity and then encryption. #commodore #c64 #retro #security
Strange flickering after I installed the JiffyDOS mod on my 128. Quite uncharacteristic of me, I did not inspect this switch carefully. Something seems off… :)
