    Hi again?

    Man, it must have been about 3 years since I've been here. Logging in feels like that scene in Tron: Legacy where Flynn's son power's up the arcade & finds the minicomputer in the back (which conveniently runs off a saved state, with a Korn shell, X11 & has a cap-touch interface) I thought...

    Laserdisc recalibration

    Couldn't find any information on the subject nor a decent forum to ask, so I guess I'm asking here: Does anyone have experience recalibrating a laserdisc player? Mine can barely track a movie, yet runs perfectly well w/ an episode of Star Trek...

    On to college...

    Well I just got the online results of the California High School Equivelancy Examination today & I passed! On to college, while still 16! :p One major question that *just* struck me is I never though about what to major in. I enjoy repairing, & I enjoy programming, though currently I don't...

    Need help on video of '2 Minutes Hate' from '1984'

    Yes, I know, another off-topic thread from atari2600a...yet this seems to be the best place to ask for help, due to the significanse the book '1984' has in this community. I've decided to create my own interpretation of '2 Minutes Hate' from the book '1984' for my Video Production class with...

    6502 ASM suggestions

    I'm currently learning 6502 ASM. I know, kinda odd as I only know how to use the printf() function in C... I'm primarily learning this so that I can get into the whole Atari 2600 & Famicom/NES homebrew scene. Does anyone know of any good Assemblers &/or disassemblers to recommend?

    I've stumbled upon an idea...

    Maybe I could start a computer & video-game museum here in Sacramento. I know, kinda retarded as it's ~130 miles away from the famed "Computer History Museum", but it'd have a different feel to it, as it'd be more video-game & home computer oriented (whereas the Vintage Computer Museum has more...

    Yet more RGB questions

    As some of you know ("remember" would be a better term for it), I snatched an RGB monitor circa-1987 during neighborhood cleanup. (along with a TRS-80 Model 4) Today, I managed to salvage what I could of the short stub of the cut cable, & there are the following wires: -Red (Red) -Blue (Blue)...

    Another prop question

    In a few episodes of Knight Rider, (even ep. 0101 (Season 01, Episode 01)), I've seen a few dumb terminals (cleverly placed next to some Altair 8" drives) display monochrome images. Does anyone know if the terminal CRT was just modded to display a composite signal, or was the CRT just...

    TRS-80 Model 4 help

    I found a TRS-80 Model 4 today during Neighborhood Cleanup!!!!! (along w/ a small RGB monitor I can temporarily use in my Neo-Geo cab) It looks like it's been in the elements, due to the mud & leaves on it. When it powers up, it displays random characters (each time different). I'm guessing a...

    Boot-up sounds

    Can someone here do me a BIG favor? Can someone record the sounds of a PC booting up? (Something from the early-mid '80's, w/ fan(s) & a loud HDD) It's for my website (http://mtac.profusehost.net/). I plan to have it loop on my index page.

    216.93.231.15, Port 1337 I plan to leave my server on all night & day (& then maybe I'll set the BIOS to turn the computer on at a specified time daily after that, & set Windows to turn off, & so on...), so PLEASE log on to my server, for I am bored!
