You know that awesome Macintosh emulator Snow by twvd ? Well I have serial ports working and now we can dial up to the information super highway!
Also I have LaunchAPPL from Retro68k working - very nice and modern dev flow to an emulator with all the dev bells and whistles.
PR to Snow soon!

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.

Hey BlueSCSI friends in the EU! A couple of new trays designed by Nic Chester are now available for your BlueSCSI v2 Desktop in my little shop.

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/oA7H7TtGqUo?feature=share

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

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.)

So cool to see #PicoIDE already being written about on blogs I'm a big fan of. I'm working as hard as possible to get it officially launched ASAP!
