    MiSTER Pi - first impressions

    I picked up the one that uses a DE-10 and it took over a year to get it because of the pandemic. I set it up for a few 8bit and 16 bit consoles. (NES / sega) and havn't used it much after that. Have you tried it with the Mac PLUS core yet?

    Best OS for Portable 5120?

    i think you answered it with 6 being the best. If you have at least 4MB of ram on the portable. system 7 should be .. usable. How much memory do you have? (i think technically system 7 should be happy with 2.5)

    MS-DOS v1.25, v2.0, v4.0 Source Code Released (MIT)

    Its mentioned in the readme that they released the sourcecode originally to the computer history museum back in 2014. But now its on github so its easier for the rest of us to look at it. which is supper cool. Also Macpaint and quick draw was giving to the CHM...

    New Toy: Dell Latitude D630 (Windows 7 Pro)

    this is taking me back. about a decade ago i used to be helpdesk support for a small office. and this is exactly the laptop and model i would support. The docks could be a bit funky. i don't think they like being hotswaped.

    Disk Jockey Jr 2.0.0, now on Linux!

    I think the link, https://diskjockey.onegeekarmy.eu/djjr/, is malformed. the link data seems to be the paragraph of test.

    Anyone else a huge fan of the Alien franchise?

    speaking of things thats surprising that people havn't seen it. there is a couple youtube channels first time watching star trek. .... like TOS and TNG. i find that wild. But i guess if you are younger you may not be that exposed to star trek. ... (or alien(s) i guess)

    Migrating from SCSI2SD v5.2 to BlueSCSI v2

    there is a real way. but it is a bit of a hack. and would require some work to get it working. context: The problem with SCSI2SD is that it doesn't really do disk images. its just raw data right onto the SD card. which you configure start and end bytes for your scsi devices via a java app. (so...
