Vladimir Campos<p>It started with a simple <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RIFA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RIFA</span></a> capacitor replacement, but I soon found myself getting overwhelmed with my multimeter readings and trying some wild ideas from Reddit. Not to mention the full RAM replacement.</p><p>This is part two of my Apple IIe restoration saga and took place between mid-2022 and mid-2023. Also, it was published on the new channel I created for my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/maker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maker</span></a> projects.

Gareth Halfacree<p>Here's the article I was working on today, and the first I've written for The Register in a hot minute: a look at a new, generated-from-actual-1980s-hardware, 1.5-million-strong test suite for the Intel 286 and compatibles.</p><p>In 2025.

@janbeta I consider retro computing the umbrella term for newer stuff recreating the original stuff and also the original stuff as well (that one I place in a vintage computing subcategory). Both are valid, but have key differences:

#retroComputing: fun experiences.
#vintageComputing: fun-strating (fun+frustrating) experiences. Also things go boom more.

It's all good to me. Newer stuff has the advantage of not having RIFAs 😀

The Pig and her poster have been reunited. MissPiggy ran XENIX-11 at Microsoft from 1979 to 1987. These days, misspiggy runs Version 7 UNIX from which XENIX was derived and its disks are virtualized so they can run under simulation and the real hardware.

Please support our preservation efforts at icm.museum

We have a partial backup of MissPiggy and one day hope to run XENIX-11 on it once again.

🧵 Tribute to the revolutionary Amiga 1000, which pushed digital audiovisuals to new heights in 1985.

I loved the Amiga conversion of Marble Madness, and completing the game with a joystick was harder than using a mouse.
