Given that I want to target i486
with @OS1337 but don't want to deal with obsolete hardware that is dying of old age, I think it's more fitting to consider a sort-of mainboard to shove some 486SX-SOM with PC/104-Plus
on and have the few necessities hooked up to it. Maybe even put it inside a THINN #Pizzabox-style #case?
It would also make a new "bridge" machine to interface old PCI & ISA hardware and allow connecting i.e. a #QuadFlop and roll with that...

Tonight, I'm just sorting through my latest retro downloads... mostly stuff I found on the Internet Archive.
And... "Holy cow!" This must be the earliest version of "Microsoft Office" I've ever seen! "WIN OFFICE 1.00". Everything's on 5.25inch disks and it doesn't even have a combined SETUP.EXE yet. You just pick what you want and then you're being thrown into a full-screen DOS session to go through the setup process. It features "Word 1.1", "Excel 2.0d" and "PowerPoint 2.00". This is fun!.. albeit in a strange way.

I was at a concert yesterday, and the stage lighting went cyan and pink.
"Oooh.. CGA!"

Well, Final Fantasy VI completed. I really loved this game as much like FFX.
FFX was my first in FF series and the most nostalgic I have.
But the FFVI has something special, his ambient, theme, a little of steampunk...
About the final boss was sublime, quite easy but good music, good aspect, etc. Now is my second favorite.
I said 'pretty easy' due I had two characters at lvl 99 and the others >70
The final boss only lasted 1 minute hahah
Now i just need to do the post-game part.
Recommended? YES!
Which version? I only played the GameBoy Advance but... don't kill me pls... is the best version.
A big shout-out to everyone who made it. The next fireside chat is pencilled in for the 9th August. #OpenSource #RISCOS #Community #Code4Fun #Zoom #Meetup #RaspberryPi #ARM #Rockchip #Retro #AcornComputers
All-Band Radio records Signals, plays MP3s.
In these days of everything-streaming, it’s great to see an old school radio build. It’s even better when it’s not old-school at all, but packed full of modern ICs and driven by a micro-controller like the dsPIC in [Minh Danh]’s dsMP3 build.
