Re: Stuff and Things.
Aaaand this arrived just now, a cheap buy off eBay:
Powers on then off almost immediately but AFAIK no yellow light. Looking at the state of the vents it's got a thermal problem, but at least on this one, the case hasn't melted, so even if it doesn't work, I can replace the case on my previously repaired melty PS3.

I'm super lucky to have a lot of space free, I haven't even started on the loft yet :)

Re: Stuff and Things.
So, I am having a bit of a crisis in my brain. I keep watching videos about Altair and Imsai machines, and really would like to build some sort of S100 bus computer. I know there is the AltairDuino kit, which is nice and looks a fun build, but isn't quite the real thing.
Has anybody else looked at this sort of thing, and if so, what conclusion did you come to?

Re: Stuff and Things.
Power it with old RIFAs and it’ll be smokin’!
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.

Re: Stuff and Things.
Well that'd be a start...
Think it'd be a slow burner...
