If you've done 6 impossible things this week, why not round it off with a trip onboard "thE grAvY trAIn" TONIGHT at 21:00 UK! (1pm Pacific/4pm Eastern)https://erb.pw/y/tgt20260321#DontPanic #thEgrAvYtrAIn #TextMode#RetroComputing #BBS #ChipTunes #TrackerMusic #ANSIArt #ASCIIArt

@HopelessDemigod Also not remotely enough flashy leds and funky tiny displays. Screw boring Ascends

@nazokiyoubinbou @mcjonestech Just started searching, but it feels like most of the 386 laptops i'm seeing had the 386SX or SLC in it, probably for power reasons - and frustratingly they all seem to have the PLCC socket under a cover, making the 387 once again an optional add-on.

@twvd @gloriouscow Most of the other ROM patches NOP out accesses to unsupported devices or replace code by jumps to additional emulation support, which I still have to analyse.My overall aim is to get an overview of patches applied to different ROMs (Mac 128/512, Mac Plus, Mac LC ROMs) by emulators such as Aladin/Spectre (Atari ST), Shapeshifter (Amiga), Sheepshaver, Daydream/Darkmatter (NeXT) and Mini vMac.Ideally, I would love to build a tool to "paravirtualize" the Mac ROM automatically.

Traded for this 3D printed tiny Packard Bell and it came with a pretty tight setup consisting of a Dell SBC running Win10 and DOSBOX. However, I knew I could get a real MSDOS computer inside, and it looks like I've found what I need! #retro #retrogaming #retrocomputing

@hp garbled snow at the bwginning isn't uncommon.Even the #NeoGeo had that infamously at bootup…

@morgan @psf @lahosken @witort@sfba.social @witort@mastodon.social I seeing the news of GEOS ported to the PC and thinking, that is going to wipe everything else off the floor. It should have!That was one my first lessons on just how unfair that industry is.

@osnews "If a file SUDOERS.SYS is present in the root directory of the boot drive, it is ignored."

@leosam Yeah, I'd love to keep it myself but I live in Romania and it's just not practical to try to move it that far (especially with the CRT, and I think it would be a shame to separate it from that). I hope someone relatively near the machine can take it while I'm in the area
