Re: Icky Projects
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.

Pretty excited this weekend as am finally getting a desk to setup my electronics workshop equipment. Since all the move this will be the time I can get back to Atari HW
It has felt like an age.
@exxos was only asking the other day when will the Giant Panda printer be back in business. I need to get another table / cabinet for it before collecting from my parents.

Re: Icky Projects
You two need to stop posting QL stuff before I get even more tempted to buy one.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.
