@Amiga_News Yeah, I've already had on my mind to make a video about how I use it. But as always: too many ideas, too little time. 
So for now I can only share a few pictures as inspiration.
I've put my card into an old SCSI housing that used to contain a SyQuest drive for 270MB discs.
One puck two players.
It's released. It's at https://www.colino.net/wordpress/en/shufflepuck-cafe-for-apple-ii/
It's June, so I've got my Javastation off the shelf for the first time in a couple of decades. This is a Javastation Krups, with 100MHz sparc, sold as a diskless workstation. I never realised it had a PPP ROM boot in! Anyway, I should get on and set up networking and a boot server.
(Note: the plastic on the clips on the doors is fragile, 2 just pinged off on me)
could we have this Commodore SuperPET SP9000 running at PaCommEx NW June 21st & 22nd in Seattle? we’re going to try!
Had a great day yesterday at #retrofest in swindon (uk) - shared some photos and a bit of a writeup here

(What I didn't think to do was to promote the forum at the event. If I did that, I'd want to do it in a non-sleazy way. Share the enthusiasm!)
Retro Computing · Retrofest 2025 at Swindon (UK)Today @Revaldinho and I visited Retrofest, held for the first time at STEAM in Swindon, a railway museum. Here’s an album of snaps from me: It wasn’t a huge event but there was a great deal of interest and much variety. We saw many things we’d not previously seen, and that doesn’t happen often. It was quite loud, especially in the afternoon, but one could still hear the teletype! It was connected to an Altair 8800 and (probably) loading Basic from tape. L...
Okay, might as well do this at least once.
AMA about Sentinel 65X!
Archive.org heeft ontzettend veel gescande boeken. Het is een schatkamer voor bijvoorbeeld boeken voor de homecomputers uit de jaren '80. In het Engels. Dat vind ik stom, en aangezien ik een paar jaar geleden een heleboel nederlandstalige boeken uit die tijd heb gekocht ga ik daar wat aan doen.
Het eerste boek dat ik heb gescand: https://archive.org/details/40-grafische-programmas-voor-de-commodore-64

Forgot that these two were in the mail, so THREE more to go. These are non-PS/2.
Feeling down? Surely the solution is to buy one more late 90s era Compaq Presario laptop. Just one more late 90s era Compaq Presario laptop will help, I assure you. You will not regret buying one more late 90s era Compaq Presario laptop.
My goal is to get at least two working machines out of these, maybe 3 if I can repair enough housing components. Not sure if it's the age or just crummy manufacturing, but the plastics on these are shockingly brittle!
Harpoom: of course the Apple Network Server can be hacked into running Doom
Of course you can run Doom on a $10,000+ Apple server running IBM AIX. Of course you can. Well, you can now.
Now, let's go ahead and get the grumbling out of the way. No, the ANS is not running Linux or NetBSD. No, this is not a backport of NCommander's AIX Doom, because

The Intel 8088 made its debut 47 years ago this week. In this blog post, we look at the 8088 and its sanctioned second source clones, and why Intel sanctioned clones in those early days. #retrocomputing https://dfarq.homeip.net/intel-8088s-and-non-intel-non-clones/
