Tuesday at 2:30PM EST we're going to finish up the FM Towns II UG20 saga so I can get it back to its owner. There's still one floppy drive to service and I'll show how I modified a 72pin SIMM and got a BlueSCSI to work with the machine. youtube.com/live/FW9Mjpo...

Playing around with adding BlueSCSI Toolbox protocol support to DingusPPC. Though somewhat roundabout, the end result is that you can transfer files in and out of more emulated machine types on Infinite Mac. As a bonus, it also makes the Macintosh Garden library […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

I hadn’t been watching his activities for a while, but it appears that the known scam artist and unrepentant thief Sean Lee Robinson (also known as Geek With Social Skills) is once again active in vintage computing circles. Avoid this loser, and don’t get scammed. youtu.be/hRkPCjVhM8c?...

This is absolutely real. The current HBO Max version of this "Mad Men" episode "remastered for 4K" did not include an updated visual effects shot, which originally painted out the crew and equipment. Not just that, the HBO Max episode titles/order is jumbled for s01.

Installed an internal BlueSCSI hard drive in my Mac LCIII tonight. I bought the BS at VCF-MW in Sep from @museumjoe.bsky.social. Decided to play a little Sim City #mac #macintosh #retrocomputing Thanks @bluescsi.com!

I got a Macintosh Quadra 950 video editing computer at VCFMW, but I haven't opened it up. Since @mac84.bsky.social 's latest stream, I'm worried that the battery leaked. Let's pop it open Wednesday at 3:30 eastern and back up the harddrive with BlueSCSI initiator mode. youtube.com/live/oA7H7Tt...

This weekend I implemented command passthrough to #PicoIDE over SMART Command Transport (which is done via creative use of the SMART log get/set commands). This way you can get status of the PicoIDE, load disc/disk images, etc., and being implemented with SMART means it works in user mode in Windows

It's official! #PicoIDE, the open source IDE/ATAPI drive emulator I've been working on for the better part of this year, will be launching at Crowd Supply! Go there to sign up for updates and to be notified when the campaign is live: www.crowdsupply.com/polpotronics...

Oh if you insist.

I put together an electronics kit + book intended as a gentle introduction to transistors and early computer logic gates (resistor-transistor logic or RTL). I set up a Tindie store page for the little over a dozen I have readied. (I'll create a web site soon.) www.tindie.com/products/jca...

We've integrated with Surveillance Watch, an interactive database that documents surveillance and spyware entities. When searching for an entity that appears on their list, we'll display a banner on its domain to alert you that it's a known surveillance tech provider.

There was a big Elden Ring mod release today - Reforged 2.0, one of those big remix type mods with reworked environments, new bosses, etc. www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mo... Pretty slick trailer! And it has both custom matchmaking and seamless co-op support.

Are you ready for #PicoIDE? It seems to be telling me it's ready. Coming soon: ATAPI optical disc emulation and IDE hard drive emulation. picoide.com
