Finally working on this JVC TM-910SU for a friend. A fine little CRT for retro gaming.

A big thanks to the Chilliwack Retro-Computing Club for inviting me to speak yesterday by live stream to attendees at the club's Retro Computing Expo in Vancouver, BC 🇨🇦. I had a great time and I hope everyone enjoyed my talk about growing up at the dawn of the personal computer.

Commodore 264-series (Commodore 16, Commodore Plus/4, and the like) diagnostic team is now complete and ready for some diag action.

Hey @theretrochannel.bsky.social, I've been re-watching your CoCo 2 s-video mod videos – I'm finally pulling my unfininished #SepTandy repair video out of mothballs – did you ever revisit your NTSC CoCo 2 RF modulator conversion? I think part of the issue with my repair case is a dodgy RF modulator.

Well, decided to take on the challenge to repair a friend's old Canon PowerShot G1. Jeez, it's like peeling an onion, a lot of layers and sooooo many tiny screws!

I built a C264 Magic Cart (which is a Magic Desk style cartridge for the C16/116/Plus4 which can access up to 2MB of software from EPROMs). It’s very cool indeed! Link here: github.com/msolajic/c26... #Commodore #C16 #C116 #Plus4 #InTheLabDoingStuff

Toronto traffic sucks at the best of times, but at least there's usually a moment to take a decent pic out the window of the car. No, I'm not the one driving.

New blog post - Penultimate +3 Turbo - VIC20 Fastload! blog.tynemouthsoftware.co.uk/2025/03/penu... Finally, the new feature is revealed, the Penultimate +3 now has built-in SD2IEC and built-in turbo load. Works on the built-in file browser, and in BASIC. Works on real disk drives and other SD2IECs.

“A real computer for the price of a toy” was Commodore’s tagline. Did the VIC-20 live up to that promise? Or was it just too limited to be anything but a plaything? #RetroComputing #ClassicTech #retrogaming #80s

Here is my starter pack, I was going to add 150 people, but bluesky had some weird flashing bug as I reached 132+, I'll try to add more later. go.bsky.app/2kWEG9L

Was doing some retro workshop purging and tidying up today and came across my original Amiga World magazines from back in the day. I kept the premiere issue from 1985 and the final issue from April 1995.

This is going to be a VGA interface for the PET. I hope, I will find a display, that is able to sync with the CRTC machines (8032). I was initially looking for an RGBI interface for the miniPET. Found a circuit and thought, I might try something for the PET, first.

New video! I'm building a simple 555 timer based logic probe from spare parts I had laying around. YouTube: https://youtu.be/NhgjBUmnA7k PeerTube: https://makertube.net/w/cuUPCfYmzMeL8DkFuXgW2a #LogicProbe #NE555 #555Timer #Circuit #Schematics #DIY #Homemade #Electronics #Tinkering

One can't have too many multimeters. Picked up this HABOTEST HT208D on AliExpress for $47 🇨🇦. I am pleasantly surprised with the very good build quality and can measure AC and DC current. More testing is required, but so far, so good. 👍 #habotest
