Inspired by @NanoRaptor - I present the DB-14. It was used for CAD applications, however it was also known to suffer data loss.

I do not like that this needs to exist, but I'mma boost it until it's not. Do likewise, as you will.

Opened Steam and read "Autism Sale" and got really excited for a moment until my brain caught up....

The MOOF A DAY collection just passed 50 items.

What's a MOOF? It's a copy-protected Macintosh program, imaged using a flux reader called APPLESAUCE and made bootable in an emulator at Internet Archive.

If you lived through the early black and white macs, this growing collection is going to bring back amazing memories, and make a familiar "BING!"

7 things all kids need to hear

1 I love you

2 I'm proud of you

3 I'm sorry

4 I forgive you

5 I'm listening

6 RAID is not backup. Make offsite backups. Verify backup. Find out restore time. Otherwise, you got what we call Schrödinger backup

7 You've got what it takes

So, after the birdsite migration there are a lot more vintage tech enthusiasts around...

Does anybody have the right 5.25" diskette images for doing an azimuth calibration on an Apple Disk II diskette drive?

I have the "Alignment Aid" diskette, but I need an "Alignment Diskette". Alternative methods to fully re-align and maintain a Disk II drive would also be very helpful. I'm getting I/O errors. I've fully recalibrated one of my drives, verified my diskettes are good, but the other drive was more heavily used and is in worse shape.

Boosts greatly appreciated. I've been looking for awhile.

Pretty close, I'll let that prediction pass. (BYTE Magazine, 1981)

This poor thing, just got a Thinkpad 600x from my dad ( @yestergearpc ) and this thing is trying so hard to do what it needs to, but it hasn't been turned on in 20 years so it's struggling very hard

First post! Recently installed example of Sterling Farrance’s “audiophile edition” of a Triple Bypass board implementing my Research Assistant Ace’s Mega Amp circuit, a universal audio fix for Sega Genesis consoles. Various versions of this circuit are at the core of one of the Depot’s current research projects.

So, right now I'm using renpy, but I'm curious.. does anyone know any other good (free) game making softwares? I wanna look at my other options

So I "made" a tape with @yestergearpc of a clip from the Mandela catalog, took us 2 days. Now I have a story by Mark Heathclif to watch on TV 😎

Seven years ago, a fellow named "MIDI_MAN" compiled 130,000 unique MIDI files by browsing a ton of sites, placing them into directories, and generally assembling years of MIDI music.

Now that collection (1gb compressed, 3.5gb uncompressed, 130,000 files for real!) is at the Internet Archive at this URL:
