@foone how does a PS/2 mouse know a Serial adapter has been plugged in? Do they put a Serial signal into an otherwise unused pin?

@foone have you ever run Doom on a Gotek? You've got some buttons, and a small OLED screen ...

@foone there’s another universe where VBScriot was the winner

@foone catches out someone every time I teach embedded programming. Every time.

@foone which was not necessarily the rated clock speed of the CPU that was installed, or the clock speed that CPU was currently set to run at...

@foone once upon a time my job was to install the jumpers on the dual-digit 7-segment display unit so it would show the clock speed the customer had ordered
