For those who don't know: Music Technology review Sound on Sound review The C1 was a 286 laptop with a LOT of built in MIDI ports. 8 MIDI outs, 2 MIDI ins, 5-pin DIN all the way. Few were sold because it was such a specialized computer and very expensive. I tracked one down a number of years...

it is REALLY worth pointing out that IF YOU WANT TO BUILD A Z80 SBC THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE NEW. I have no problem ordering from china but some of the biggest frustrations I've had in building is buying parts from there that don't work for whatever reason. The entire Z80 set of chips that are...

I've built a few of the Retrobrew designs, as a beginner I think the Easy Z80 is, well, the easiest and most capable. All parts are thru-hole and can be purchased new from Mouser/Digikey/etc. https://github.com/skiselev/easy_z80

I really enjoy throwing together an MTS installation on an instance of Hercules every once in a while. It's a very comfortable system for people used to PC/Workstation operating systems. https://try-mts.com/why-try-mts/

I'm also interested if Plasma passes on it.

I have SimH on a Manjaro install on my Pinebook Pro, it's in the Pacman repository. To install it you'd just need to jump into terminal and run sudo pacman -Syu simh There's also a fork if you feel comfortable building it yourself (quite easy to do) with many more simulators. Not necessary if...

Thinkpad sold!

Yes it is.

I've gotten tired of fighting with these older pentium machines. They were fantastic items when I bought them about ten years ago, but they're giving me problems now and I have enough projects to work on rather than fight with them any more. I'll explain the problems and be happy to help...

The Zeta has it's own built in terminal emulation with VGA and PS2 ports, I'm now realizing that I've never checked if it emulates a particular terminal because the support is built in to RomWBW: http://www.malinov.com/Home/sergeys-projects/parportprop It would appear to essentially emulate an...

166 or 66? I have a DEC 3000/400 that runs 133 and 166 isn't what the OP is seeking.

Any idea if it boots DUnix or NT? It'd be amusing to run speed tests against various Pentium systems to see what it actually matched with, compared to what Digital claimed back in the day.

Thanks for this fantastic project, I had two questions about using on two machines I have: Which version would you recommend I use with my Zeta SBC? I assume the vezza-b.com build for banked RAM and CPM3 would be ideal for 512k and RomWBW, correct? I also have a 128k MSX2 which can run both...
