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?

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
