Happy Pride! Semi related, here is the giant Ikea rainbow pride bag that I’ve used to take all PicoGUS orders over to the post office.

In my abundant free time, I want to make a phone app optimized for taking photo or video of CRTs, with quick access to shutter speeds of 1/25, 1/29.97, 1/30, 1/50, 1/59.94, and 1/60 of a second. I've tried so many camera apps with manual settings and each one has annoyances or too many settings.

For the latest issue of Make Magazine, I wrote a feature article about #PicoGUS! The online version of the article is now up. Come read about my beginnings as a teenage #demoscene fan, how I was introduced to the GUS and how I decided to make an emulator for it so many years later. https://makezine.com/article/technology/computers-mobile/democratizing-the-demoscene-picogus-brings-the-90s-tracker-sound-to-the-masses/

The "Book386" (a Hand386 in the Book8088 case) that I've long wanted was just released (called the Pocket 386)! https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805356267711.html

Some people have wondered why the #PicoGUS is as tall as it is and here’s why: to fit big boi wavetable cards like this one. It’s also why there are holes for mounting standoffs.

Coming soon to #PicoGUS: Sound Blaster support. Massive thanks to yyzkevin for writing and contributing the SB DSP and mixing code! Now you'll be able to play Doom with FM synth + SB sound effects, or play earlier SB games that don't support the GUS.

TIL that the case badge on the IBM PC/AT 5170 can be rotated for when it’s sitting vertically!

Some 5170s shipped with this gray plastic panel so you wouldn’t offend anyone who would have happened to see the naked metal back of your computer. This panel is the only thing left from the AT I used when I was a kid; it mounts with Velcro and this 5170 I just got doesn’t have the matching side so I’m holding it up.
