Hi! from yet another retro tinkerer

Post by tlt »

Hi everyone!

I'm a nostalgic for retro computers and video games systems. I have a small collection of hardware but not yet an Atari ST. But I have a Jaguar. As a hobby I buy old broken systems, try to fix them, play around with them and sell them again but I have ended up not wanting to part with a lot of them and keeping them for myself instead :D . I made some retro related project in the past that someone might find interesting. The MeC64 keyboard and a USB adapter for the Super Wild Card. Right now I have a Amiga CD32 motherboard that I need to make something of, any suggestions?

There's so much tinkering going on here that it's nearly neo-retro.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.
