I'm not sure if you can call it modern but today I picked up a Sun Microsystems LCD display, part number 365-1429-01 and it does indeed do 15KHz. Unfortunately, when used with my Amiga 1200 it only displays at 640x240@50Hz and won't go up to 640x256. It does seem to handle the NTSC resolution better...

I think you are right. I will stick to the ultra Satan. The only thing I.am doing now is testing the SCSI drives for Don on the PC. This I what I am dealing with. That should be fine, but I'm familiar with enclosures like that, you will need a SCSI terminator on one of the two connectors shown in t...

I may, or may not volunteer to run a "Retro-Lave" table, as I did a couple of years ago. I did little else other than hold the fort that year. I did take a few machines ...

I’m not sure that retro computing is organised enough or populous enough to have groups as such. I do meet people at special events but not in general. The sorts of events are retro events at places such as The National Mueseum of Computing in Bletchley Park and at the computer museum in Cambridge. ...

Have a merry retro Christmas everyone!

Today I mostly learnt that Tantalum capacitors contain black magic smoke. that is all.... You didn't put it in the circuit the wrong way around did you? The black bar end is the positive and not the negative as with every other type of capacitor. I think they changed that just make the smoke/flames...

Someone could make a cable and bring the power to the outside as a socket (USB?) and then power an external device, such as an UltraSatan directly from the machine. One less wall wart.

That second picture looks like the monitor is massively over sharpening, producing the light halos around the characters.
