I was watching some offside funny protesting by this dude. He's been kicked out of Tesla dealerships, kicked out of CPAC filled with MAGA, serenaded cops, kicked out of an ICE office, etc. I needed some laughs & got lots.

Of course I'm not the first person to hook CPUs up to a Raspberry Pi or an Arduino.

I'd like to highlight some of the people who have done this before me.

@foone I'll probably still build my own stuff, but I'd certainly tinker with an UCA if i can get my hands on one.

It's right up my nerd alley.

My nerd alley is pretty wide though. It's really embarrassing how wide my nerd alley is

in reply to gloriouscow

I know the feeling. I have to explicitly decide that I'm not going to care about certain types of computers just to make sure I don't end up collecting and learning about a 400th weird thing
in reply to Foone🏳️‍⚧️

@foone The world is just so full of fascinating STUFF, more than a thousand lifetimes could ever explore, and we're making it faster than we can tinker with it.

I guess that's why I like retro stuff. Its a fixed point of reference, it never moves or changes, and its simple enough that you can wrap your head around it. Human beings made the 8086. They taped it out with physical tape. I can understand it. I can control it.

There's not a lot in the modern world that I feel the same way about.

Poll: Americans disapprove of spending public funds to put on military parade in Washington

in reply to AI6YR Ben

Meanwhile, the Birthday Boy remains silent on the incident. According to Crooks And Liars:

Donald J. Trump has not mentioned the targeted attack on two Democrats yet. Trump's Truth Social post a few minutes ago:

"OUR GREAT MILITARY PARADE IS ON, RAIN OR SHINE. REMEMBER, A RAINY DAY PERADE BRINGS GOOD LUCK. I’LL SEE YOU ALL IN D.C."

two people shot is not a mass shooting. But, it’s still bad.


I think the biggest tragedy of American culture is that we don't have any WITHOUT relationships to capital.

Even our home grown Christian sects are based around prosperity gospel or a protestant work ethic.

Historically all imported cultural traditions are here because of material conditions and work opportunities. (Maybe an exception for Jews escaping persecution).

And looking at the ethics and priorities of the American founding fathers it's obvious that capital has always been the crux of our culture. All the nonsense about freedoms and liberties were simply the correct things to say in the moment. Did you honestly believe they believed these truths to be self evident for everyone? Or the select few.



#rc2014 Pro - Starts up in SCM, from there I can get to basic and CP/M. The clock boards reset button works fine here too.

reshared this

in reply to Shonky Electronics!

Glad that you're up and running. Yeah, the reset circuit on the clock module is running pretty close to tolerances. It should auto-reset on powerup, but doesn't always do that. Backplane reset button will always work.

And sorry about your retinas. The latest batch of LEDs is significantly brighter that the ones I originally supplied.

in reply to RC2014

@rc2014 the LEDs are ridiculously efficient. Good in a way, but I’ve always assumed 5-10mA each, and I’ve burned out similarly bright LEDs with 4k7s in the past
in reply to RC2014

@rc2014 the system does a good power on reset with SCM “88”, and as I can get to Basic and CP/M from there without changing jumpers, I’m happy
in reply to Shonky Electronics!

I think the "88" is the best all-round boot option. Not only Basic and CP/M, but straight in to a Z80 monitor ROM too to flex your assembly programming muscles too 😀
in reply to RC2014

@rc2014 it’s a loooooong time since I did any Z80 assembly more that a few bytes.
Shame there’s no hex loader in the monitor 🙁
in reply to Shonky Electronics!

There is an Intel hex loader built in to the monitor. As long as your file starts with a colon it should load in. Then G 8000 (or whatever address you compiled it for) will run it.

in reply to Edwin G.

These scams are a constant among the scam baiting community on YouTube, there are hundreds if not thousands of videos showing how these scams work. People need to educate themselves for their own good. Many start with a paid ad at the top of your Google search. Make sure you check the authenticity of Google searches.



Brevard County Sheriff Sheriff Wayne Ivey proves once again that cops are giant chickenshits. If they feel the slightest bit nervous, they gotta kill somebody.

Guess who makes them nervous the most?

HP 9000 PA-RISC marketing pictures from the mid-1990s. Following up on my earlier post on the HP 9000 family of PA-RISC workstations.

The early- to mid-1990s were the heydays of PA-RISC computers, with many workstations released by HP. Marketing usually had a strong technical focus but sometimes more colorful material slipped through.

HP 9000 workstations were popular in the 1990s through the 2000s: HP 712 and 715, B-Class and J-Class (SMP), with all 32-bit PA-RISC processors.
