I need your help!
This floppy was destroyed by the preowner, and I seem unable to locate a disk image for this driver version anywhere.
Maybe someone has a good source?

THINKING MACHINES: THE CONNECTION MACHINE

When Hoi became well-known, we changed our name into "Team Hoi". ㋡
You can find links to our Amiga, CD32, MS-DOS and Windows games, demos, music and graphics in the "Team Hoi game developers" section of https://linksta.cc/@seven
You can also check the #TeamHoi hashtag on Mastodon.
It started with a simple #RIFA 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.
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 #maker projects. If you enjoy this type of video, please subscribe. #vintagecomputing #appleii
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.
In 2025. Yes. Emulator devs are a different breed, I tell you, and we're all the richer for 'em.

Calling #VintageComputing #RetroComputing and #Emulator developers/enthusiasts/and so forth. I'm writing a piece about a new hardware-generated test suite for the 286:
https://github.com/SingleStepTests/80286
and I'd love to include some comments. Will you use it, and if so how? Why has the 286 proven a challenge to emulate properly, and what else stands in the way of cycle-accurate emulation?
It would also be a more flexible option not just for "dumb #terminals" like a VT320 or VT525, thus desireable for a lot of #legacy / #embedded setup and allow for integrating like a #serial #console into a "Managment LAN" (which should be #airgapped!)…
So yeah, a #LAN232 / #Ethernet232 would be kinda cool, even if it's just a #PiZero 1.3 with a USB Serial & Ethernet Chip in a case.
30 years ago to this day, Cher Horowitz had a touchscreen (in her house, let alone her closet) and I was jealous.
I loved this period of the internet. No AI slop, no manipulative algorithms, no fake news chaos, no advertisement overload…

New video! Trying to repair a badly broken and incomplete NTSC Commodore VIC-20 board.

Dave Plummer stopped by and gave us one of his mesmerizers which we almost immediately attached to the side of the Honeywell 6180 Multics maintenance panel.
i absolutely admire this project’s dedication to deep LTS
A year ago today we had just 17 members as we took on the Remote Systems from Living Computer Museum. This morning we just reached our 307th member: Dave Plummer of Dave's Garage!
#tbt How it started, how it's going
Thank you to our supporters!
We will be presenting "Recollections" at VCF West at the Computer History Museum next month. Access these systems now and experience historic operating systems and programming environments online from home!
Warum hatten Computer früher Kassettenrekorder?
Why did Computer have had cassetterecoders?

@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 https://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.
Gotta love good ol' 1-bit pixel dithering (ordered, Floyd-Steinberg, etc.)
