    Immutable Characteristic: Transness

    This issue will be discussed in the upcoming board meeting - any amendments will be announced after this. We recognise that along with a lot of policy - we do need to sometimes flesh out or amend previous guidelines. Thank you to @badferday for raising this - we value our membership giving us...

    SE/30 Reload

    OSHPark is US based...but prepare to have your wallet reamed. JLCPCB is who i used for all of my Classic and SE reloaded board runs. The latest SE/30 reloaded board run of 50, was done by JLCPCB.

    Regarding ban on 2024-01-29

    Recently, some of you may be aware of a ban handed out to a now former member of our community. The reason for that members ban is still valid and the ban will therefore stand (Reason: Violation of the code of conduct). However, the language used in the ban message itself was not just...

    SE/30 Reload

    OUCH! $411.28?! Are you also having them populated with birdseed, or are these bare boards? JLCPCB may be a more financially acceptable price.

    Time for an Athlon-XP Build - Project Middlesex (Now with pretty pictures!)

    Wasn't planning on doing dual monitor - Kinda want to pair it with the Dell Trinitron display i pulled out of the skip all those years ago, but finding CRT's in the 2020's is like searching for gold dust. I remember the nForce 2 RAM bank shenanigans - i literally just need a PSU and to...

    Merch Store Feedback

    Just before the primary gifting period of 2023, I ordered a TinkerDifferent Mug, a TinkerDifferent mouse mat (Classic PCB - woo!) and a TinkerDifferent hoodie for @boopbox123 Other than the slightly fuzzy print on the mouse mat, i'm overall impressed with the price and quality of all of the...

    AMD (the Xilinx bit) discontinuing a lot of IC's

    Oh shit! Time to stock up on them, especially if you want to build amiga accelerators.

    Picked up a PowerMac G4 MDD with the Zip750 drive!

    Be warned, MO drives aren't cheap although the sweet spot is 1.3GB - usually Fujitsu GIGAMO drives.

    Poll - Extending the term length of the board

    On this particular point - the vendors section had been devoid of any activity. Almost no posts in there, and the ones that existed generally had no updates for several months. I'm not inclined to agree that there was any damage done to vendors, as the vendors were mostly absent, barring...

    Time for an Athlon-XP Build - Project Middlesex (Now with pretty pictures!)

    Poll - Extending the term length of the board

    Hello all - as @Androda mentioned, I'd like to put a longer explanation across to you all. This topic is not something we'd think would be raised, or in this case, seemingly needed. TinkerDifferent was founded to be run by the tinkering/retro/hackerspace community that it served, to be...

    Texas Instruments discontinuing a lot of IC's

    This is more of a heads up - if you're building any Reloaded boards, please now be aware that TI have been curtailing their product lines, so things like the SN75150 (replaces the MC3488 in the SE Reloaded) & SN75175 RS-422/RS-485 serial interface IC's used in the SE/30 Reloaded and more, are...
