    6o6: virtualizing the 6502 on the 6502

    I thought about it, and it does implement the same NMOS behaviour for things like jmp ($xxff), but eventually I'd like to have it cover CMOS as well.

    A PowerPC Windows CE device: the Data General WiiN-PAD

    Yeah, I thought so too, but none of the ones I had here fit (I use an InfoLithium clone with my DataRover 840, but I *knew* that one was Sony-manufactured). I'm likely to do exactly what you're suggesting but fortunately the original battery holds enough of a charge to make it useable undocked.

    A PowerPC Windows CE device: the Data General WiiN-PAD

    The WiiN-PAD (yes, really, they spell it like that) is the first PowerPC Windows CE system I've ever found. Does anyone know of any others? This is a little handheld slate intended for medical applications with Windows CE 2.12. It has internal flash and a camera for reading barcodes, and it can...

    Bench Power Supply Q

    A small hair dryer? I forget how much my bench supply can generate. I'll glance at the manual later.

    Odd audio issue on Portable (M5120)

    I had something similar happen with my Portable, even after a professionally done recap and inspection (you can hear it, it's just very quiet). However, being a prototype, it's entirely possible there's some other problem with it.

    6o6: virtualizing the 6502 on the 6502

    This is something I've literally tinkered with for over twenty years, so it's time to clean it up and open source it, along with the Incredible KIMplement 1.0, its original demonstration application (a KIM-1 emulator that runs on a Commodore 64). 6o6 "6502-on-6502" presents a full NMOS 6502 to...

    ZiLOG discontinues the Z80 & Support IC's in June 2024

    There's been talk that Rochester may take up the masks, but they haven't said anything.

    New Portrait: Samuel Jackson

    My favourite portrait is Andrew Jackson on linen with green ink. I always accept ones people send. ;)

    Any interest in Palm Pilots?

    I have, but it's not too useful without an NFS mount for it, so you really need a BBA. The Dreamcast Linux that circulates out there is old but is a complete system even standalone, so it works fine with my Treamcast too. I have the build I use up here: https://github.com/classilla/dclinux

    Any interest in Palm Pilots?

    Seems to work very well on it. My NetBSD systems are a IIci, a Q605, a G4 mini, an RPi and the Jornada (I also have it on a card for my MIPS WorkPad but I usually run it in WinCE), so I have a long history with it. In general I like the BSDs more as servers, and the J690 is indeed just that, a...

    Disk Jockey Jr 2.0.0, now on Linux!

    Unfortunately that won't work - the G5 is big-endian, and most POWER9 systems are usually configured to run little-endian. If you do make a source code release, I'd be very interested in playing with it.

    Any interest in Palm Pilots?

    I like NetBSD more on the J690. I always thought the SuperH should have done better in the market. They're surprisingly nice to program. I've toyed with getting a Zodiac, but the sellers generally want stupid money, and I'm not *that* interested. For my Palm development, I usually crossbuild...

    Disk Jockey Jr 2.0.0, now on Linux!

    Is there any source code? My daily driver workstation is a Fedora POWER9 (ppc64le), so those won't do. Thanks for the port!

    Any interest in Palm Pilots?

    The 690 was a lot better than the 680, but on the whole I wasn't impressed with CE. I did land a verrrry interesting CE device recently, however. More when it arrives. I do have one of the MIPS IBM WorkPads (see https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2022/09/the-mips-thinkpad-kind-of.html ). The keyboard...

    Any interest in Palm Pilots?

    I have a decent collection of Palms: a Casio OEM version of the Zoomer, Palm Computing's first device an original USR Pilot 1000 (upgraded with a 5000 card), Palm modem, Mac converter, cradle Palm VII in its original box and all accessories, mostly unused (very expensive to use back in the day)...

    Fix-a-Fork

    You should rename it to "Fix a Fork Fast" so you can make the command line version "faff." Then we can faff around with programs. Thank you, I'll get my coat.

    Very nice! I have a working TechStep myself but this would make a lovely backup.

    MDD FW400 and DP 1.42 Ghz from FW800

    The processor could be getting hot simply because it ends up in an infinite loop or some such. For example, when my Quad G5 machinechecks, it just goes into a loop and the fans run at max. It may well be the CPU board at fault, but the CPU card heating up wouldn't be definite evidence.
