Attempting to install Openstep 4.2 on real hardware today, it's not going well do far 😔

*Thunk!*

Never thought I'd turn into a "Beanie" collector, but I'm on a roll this week! 😂

This was a tricky one to find, welcome to the family!

Sunsonic 986-II - Famicom with a built-in CRT.

This is what they took from us! 😭

Hmm, I'm thinking now, could I get Solaris to work on an i5!!

"it's a Unix system, I know this!"

Let's try the latest Haiku on this 25 year old hardware......

Booting and shutting down Sun Solaris 8 x86, on an AMD Athlon K7 1Ghz with 512MB RAM, installed on an SSD.

Let's try to install Sun Solaris 8 x86 on the Athlon 1Ghz machine! I've stuck a PCI S3 Trio64V2/DX in for compatibility I've got it running at 1024x768, looking positive! 👍

Universal NT Installer 👍 Linux-based installer for multiple Windows NT versions (NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 3.51, NT 4.0, 2K, XP (x86 & x64)), supporting partitioning, formatting, and sysprepped image deployment. Installs in seconds on modern and legacy systems. github.com/ages2001/Uni...

I do like a game now and then! 😀 (don't be mad the Amiga A600 underneath has not been harmed)

Enjoying a random Thursday night in my own slice of retro heaven 😇 (Feels like) Heaven by Fiction Factory* is my song of the evening 🎵🎶🎶🎶☺️💾💿 Whatever you're doing have fun! 👍

Intel Bunnies look on in shame as the AMD Athlon 1Ghz blazes away......

If anyone out there has one of these Soyo Soyo SY-6VBA133 Slot 1 motherboards, could you take a photo of this voltage regulator please, I need to replace mine as it's been cut off. I've seen one with a AMS1084CT, but they used alternatives, need to identify the right one. Cheers

It's always a gamble buying EPROMs on AliExpress, but these M27C1001 all work well, erase, blank, program, read! 👍

4x Sealed, 2x Unsealed (60 Sony Floppy Disks) - £6 delivered! 💾👍

Trying to diagnose this Soyo Pentium 2/3 board, not much time today (story of my life). It powers on with the power button and even turns off correctly. Post Card analyser shows voltages and reset isn't stuck, but no codes at all.

This is how I'm going to look every time someone dislikes one of my posts.

If you owned a Dreamcast 25 years ago, chances are you also had a copy of 'Disk Juggler' installed on your computer! If you know, you know! 😉

Remember those 'good old days': Nero - Burning Rom ⚠️ Buffer underrun! ⚠️ ❌ Burn process failed! ❌

Acorn A4000 Motherboard (1992), a very lucky one with no battery damage, only slight corrosion on the battery leg solder (it's been removed, don't stress).

New old portable TV - Casio EV-500, great picture, sounds kinda tiny 🙄

Athlon board, ram, CPU and cooler for £7 delivered, bargain!

Being British and having a casual walk down a 700+ year old street, as you do, then you bump into 👇

Breakfast in the evening is yummy! 😋

I just went to the tip and saw about 15 beige boxes in a skip, so sad, I need a minute 😞😭

It's the early naughties and you just had some retail therapy. 🛍️

A lovely Autumnal sunset in my workshop tonight 🍂🍁 🌇

My 'RetroNAS' running Open Media Vault - Hosting backups of all my retro software, OS's, games, roms, disk images, bios dumps and more. It's good to have a dedicated device in my workshop that's accessible by older devices over the network. 💾👍

How have I had multiple Pixel phones for 6+ years and didn't know they did this, very useful!

My main rig in 2004 (how the heck has it been 21 years!!??):

New bargain Socket A(462) motherboard to checkout! 👍

Atari TOS 1.6 STE UK (it really bothers me how the stickers are on two different ways around)

Something that I do *not* like about getting older is I have lost the ability to sleep in on weekends. This sucks! Though it is kinda nice having the house to myself for a couple hours while everyone else snoozes away…

50 days later......

I give the best presents to my friends! 👍

Night Retro Frens 😴💤💾💤💾💤💾💤

Happy Friday Folks, have a great weekend. Luna says Hi 👋😻

My little buddy Luna is keeping me company during my lunch break 😻

Acorn BBC Micro Model B

Sadly I really don't have much spare time at the moment, but tonight I had an hour. I decided to try to see if I could get this Socket 2 486 board to show some signs of life. This was part of a batch of scrap boards I got a few months back.
