I'll be interested to hear how the RTC mod goes, tempted to try something similar on my Falcon.stephen_usher wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 12:13 pm I'll keep it as stock as possible I think.
It'll need the clock chip looking at. I'll probably just grind the top off the case and solder a CR2032 holder to it. It'll probably also need the clock patch.
Good luck & lots of photos please!

Intro retro computers since before they were retro...

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.

Did you have to pay dearly for the privilege? (I wouldn't dare guess what these go for nowadays).

I'll post more once it's in the bag, as it were... I don't want to jinx things.
