    [PicoGUS] rp2040 based ISA card as drop in replacement for GUS

    I made myself an adlib last year which was fun, this card looks like an awesome step up to experiment with other sound fonts. I know some soundblasters are good in the IBM 5150/5160 but I've never explored that. I'll have to look at ordering a PCB for this!

    Finding a specific DRAM chip for PB500

    https://www.utsource.net/itm/p/4690382.html You can reference the part numbers from this pdf for the other 4mx4(16) chips, speed won't matter but I like to keep them the same. I see some results from UTsource for other options in sop or tsop, either package will work if 24p. I did the same...

    GOTEK which one?

    Any of them honestly, as long as you flash HXC flash floppy firmware you'll have a stronger compatibility for disk types and operation. I prefer the units with double 7 segment displays as I usually replace with OLED, rotary encoder etc

    "Budget" conscious Trinocular Microscope & Fume Extraction

    I don't get any vibration through the arm, the fans I am using are high CFM so they can go quite fast, that being said I typically have them on a decently low setting to cut out noise as even then they'll move away any fumes really well. I think any visual instability would be up to the quality...

    Apple II SCSI hard drive questions

    I had no luck myself getting RamFast to utilize my DB25. The boot rom could see the bluescsi, format it etc but it couldn't boot from it. I don't know enough about the cards to say what the issue is. Is it far fetched to assume these cards are injecting something upon format/install...

    Solution for sharing a keyboard & mouse between USB & ADB?

    This has me thinking as to why hot swapping is D A N G E R. Looking at the pinout of ADB I am wondering that maybe there is a solution simply with the 5v line in. what is the behavior of the keyboards controller during powerup and how can we make a circuit to safely simulate that when hot...
