So, did Michelle grow up to be a Tax Collector, or did Kilobaud save her?

What to do on a rainy Saturday morning. Sit outside on the lounge drinking coffee and reading BYTE magazine, august 1982 volume 7. What a time to be alive!

Micro-Professor MPF-I. A Z80 development board/SBC by MULTITECH Industrial Corporation (who became PAN ACER GROUP, commonly known as just Acer).

Complete with manuals in near mint condition & some add on boards, including and EPROM programmer and a printer.

Going to have some fun with this one!

The RTFM clone board for the A3000 by Darren Shepherd makes this a descent gaming machine, along with a 4MB RAM and IDE podule upgrade.

Now I just need to find a way to transfer games from the JASPP collection from my PC.

Pulled the Archie out for a play today. Trying to get the RTFM joystick interface working. It's supposed to work with Nevryon, but not having much luck. May be missing the RTFMJoy driver, I suspect.

Never been one for backlit keyboards or clear cases, but with the ultimate 64 and subtle lighting, it just works. Reckon there's a few changes coming yet.

The newly reworked Ultimate64 Elite has arrived! Now to choose a case from the breadbin kickstarter that have been waiting patiently in their boxes for a suitable donor since Xmas.

Small tool I hacked up to change the 2nd and/or 3rd SID address for multi-SID files.

Got sick of having to change the 2nd SID address in my dual SID machines to play some tunes. Now I have a consistent collection.

C64 breadbin case, completed as a 6 part print in ABS. Once glue is properly cured, I'll use filler on the seams and the odd imperfection, sand then paint. Undecided what board I'll build for it just yet, but Jim's ICS64S is looking good!
