More importantly, when do you get the networking up and running? :-)

Some basic restoration of retro facilities!

@rubber_jonnie Nice to see the workspace coming together!

Now all we need to see are the Alpha & H4 & H5 boards out being worked on... :D

I don't have an H5 at present as I need to actually build the 2 H4s I have in boxes, somewhere in the depths of the box room, so called as it is filled with boxes!!

Once the Electron is fixed, and the Mac Classic too, I'll hopefully get onto those. I will definitely revisit the Alpha too, it needs to be done.

Oh god, then there's the Spectrum to revitalise, it's all stacking up.

First things first, I need to order some new furniture that'll become my workbench, fingers crossed this week!

Well very annoying, but it seems to be the way of things at the moment.

New workbench/desk ordered, but won't arrive until the 24th!!! I can at least tidy the room ready in the meantime and find my important tools and carry on with some stuff for now.

How's the unpacking going?

In terms of normal household stuff, we're going great guns, in terms of my workshop, not so much as I'm waiting for new furniture that's arriving next weekend.

Once that's arrived I can start whipping the workshop into shape :)

Well, Ikea delivered early, though TBH I have been ill since Thursday (Not covid) so didn't really much feel like a massive bout of flatpack assembly. But I needed to do it for my peace of mind, and this is what it looked like to start with:


Mid build:


And finally everything assembled and some tools in place:


So I can now start unpacking the rest of my tools and stuff and start getting back to work on my retro projects :)

The only problem I now have is finding stuff in a room filled with cardboard moving boxes!!

:girldance: :girldance: :girldance:

:dualthumbup: :cheer:

Quiet mode is definitely off!!

Main part of the workshop/retro area is looking good, I just need to hook up my bench PC and am awaiting 2 more desks for setting up my retro stuff on, but this'll do for now ;)
