@gruber I actually spent 2 hours on a flight from Maui to Seattle peeling off the outer Corinthian Pleather "gross skin" edging. Looks and feels way better w/o it. Whole case is still well-worn garbage, though.

Keyboards?
Where we’re going we DO need… keyboards. 😎

Hm… 0736x480 “Janet”. What’s this?

Oh! I SEE. 😎

@dansalvato I find it totally fascinating, but since I'm a complete unix neophyte I'm probably not the best person to attempt to show it off. I'm sure I'd be cheered by some, and criticized by many others for "doing it that way" or describing things in laymen's terms.

There was an Amiga 2000 (2500ux) and 3000 that came from C= with unix pre-installed, too, called Amix. I have a friend who got one of those up and running. Pretty wild to see in-person.

@mnemonicoverload Yes, it uses its own DOS. If you have stacks of public domain or cracked disks it can be dreamy. What a lot of folks did, though, was use tools that included "keys" that would allow certain AAA titles to be copied. But in terms of *using* certain disks you're absolutely right. This thing (IMO) was more of a pirate's dream.

You can learn a lot more about this drive here:

Dual disk drive for the C64/128, but also a stand-alone disk copier with no computer attached. The MSD SD-2…

If 12-year old me had had one of these I’m pretty sure I’d have stood in front of a tired and grumpy judge at some point. ;)

@ritchey_de @amigalove me, too! Except my CD-ROM player needs repair. :(

@thomasfuchs Good lord - you took this photograph? This isn't from Hubble?? WOW!!!

@slaine I also have an accelerator in my Q700, but mine only takes the 25Mhz to 40 - not 50. It's called the DayStar Turbo 040. It's benefit is it is super solid on the compatibility front.

What are you running in yours?

@metin I've heard of it somewhat recently, but not used it personally.

@slaine That's an original ICO AdSpeed. You drop it into the 68000 socket then put your original CPU into the top of it.

Somehow it allows the CPU to flip from 7Mhz to 14. With the jumpers, I have mine always set to 14. But I can switch it to 7 via software any time I need to slow down (almost never unless you fire up Ultima, which has its timing set to the CPU speed, which is kind of hilarious).

This was the basis for Dunklee's inspiration for the 28Mhz accelerator he makes for the Parceiro

And, the creator is on Mastodon!

@Dcypher @amigalove yes! I’m getting near the end of the line of the Gold Box library on Amiga. Digging this one so far. Only a week in (probably 3-4 more to go)!

My Saturday night is in full swing.
Hope you’re having a good one.
