You're getting as bad with the Apricots as I am with STs!!stephen_usher wrote: 28 Nov 2021 13:40 Oops! I seem to have bought another Apricot...
Apricot Portable, working, with manuals but no software. However it does have keyboard and *MOUSE*!
£130 via Facebook Marketplace, which is a reasonable sum.
They sound like very interesting projects, looking forward to pictures there too :)stephen_usher wrote: 28 Nov 2021 14:15 Hehe.
It looks like I'll have to drive over to Cardiff next weekend to collect it. Pictures will be posted. :D
P.S. I still have more 16/32 bit Ataris than Apricots.
P.P.S. I have two ideas for Apricot projects: Recreation of a hard disk interface and USB keyboard/mouse interface to replace the IR. Both will have to use a Raspberry Pi for the storage/USB. The front end for the HD interface will need to replicate the original using GALs, counters and a 8Kx8 SRAM chip.
You should complain before the 90 day warranty expires!stephen_usher wrote: 03 Dec 2021 10:30 Just got my booster jab.
The Moderna version is still no good for connecting to the Starlink satellites. I should complain to Elon Musk.
It was actually a jelly bean. :-)Icky wrote: 03 Dec 2021 19:13 @stephen_usher - I had to zoom in to check if you had actually used a cherry or a real LED for the middle of the box.
My booster was Moderna and I felt pretty crappy, similar to the 2nd AZ, but the first AZ was the worst, took me out for days. Hope you feel better soon.stephen_usher wrote: 04 Dec 2021 09:35It was actually a jelly bean. :-)Icky wrote: 03 Dec 2021 19:13 @stephen_usher - I had to zoom in to check if you had actually used a cherry or a real LED for the middle of the box.
Blurgh! After my jab yesterday I'm feeling really grotty. Headache, no energy, really tired, slightly sick and I can't lift my left arm up very high. The Moderna jab really produces side effects tons worse than the A-Z.
On a brighter note, we won the cake competition, though only one other group made a cake.
