Beautiful 😍
FlashFloppy running on my OpenFlops board connected to a VFD in an IBM 5150 (with its lid off). Is there anything more beautiful? 😍
Wanna get involved in The Roaming ZX Spectrum for charity? It’s coming to Aus :-) youtube.com/playlist?lis...
This is the next chapter in The Roaming Spectrum series. I won’t spoil it but Todd has made a really lovely video including an insight into his hometown in Ohio. Thank you Todd!

I assume they’re using assembly language?
The start of a big adventure!
This lovable little Spectrum has embarked on a trip around the world where it will visit many retro and vintage tech people along the way.
Started off by @2600.me who handed it to me, it's visited the @retrocollective.co.uk and is now in the safe hands of YARC Todd.
Really happy that I can finally share this lovely video @morefunmakingit.bsky.social made about my ZX Spectrum. If anyone is interested in being part of the adventure, pop me a DM. :-)

April64K Memory Test running on a C64. It implements the March-B RAM test.
It puts a smile on my face when we have more options for properly testing this old hardware we all love!
Christian has implemented the March-B RAM test on the C64, which blows away the inadequate RAM test in use on all the legacy diagnostic carts.

Dirty beige box!
Brilliant. Pebble dashed by a bloody pigeon. 😂
Well, they have to make themselves useful, right?
A playful robot figure made from blue and yellow playdough sits on a wooden surface. The robot is shaped using moulds and has googly eyes. Long yellow playdough strands surround the robot’s head, resembling hair or cables.
A row of four playdough creatures is displayed on a wooden table. From left to right: two green alien-like figures with big heads and googly eyes, a small yellow creature with large eyes and stubby limbs, and a green robot figure with moulded details and googly eyes. A person in a brown jumper is seated in the background.
ALIENS AND ROBOTS! 😍
I find I can remember most stuff, even a few months later. Where I struggle is screws; but I’ve started using a sharpie to number screw holes to correspond with screw trays. Comes off with IPA once assembled and so easy to do. Never had an incorrect screw placement since! 😁
My name is Henry and I have a LED problem^w collection.
Both, obviously. 😝🥰
The soundtrack of your childhood 🕹️
That is all... 😊

This is probably my favourite @morefunmakingit.bsky.social video yet. Go watch!
Ooo! New one! 🆕
He’s a good egg!
Time for the big guns! @adriansdigitalbasement.com
Love it! 😍
This is so freaking cool.

Back panel of an IBM 5150 with expansion cards – A rear view of the IBM 5150 showcasing various expansion card ports, including two DB-25 connectors, a DB-9 connector, and a coaxial port. The panel is dusty and has signs of aging.
Something special arrived in the post yesterday—an IBM PC 5150, the same type I last owned decades ago. It’s not working yet, but with its off-the-shelf parts, I’m hopeful I can get it running with help from @mogwaay.bsky.social and the amazing folks on the Retro Hardware Discord. ❤️
Forces the SCART input into RGB mode. Normally your device would need to pull pin 16 to TTL low (I think) to do this. This is super useful because some devices don’t do this properly.
Amazing! Well done everyone 👏👏
This is the Philips.
I think it’s very similar to the Philips CM8833 which had SCART and a TTL CGA style input.
Very nice!
