Today at the #VintageComputerFestival West, I shared how in college I used my Atari 520ST to emulate an IBM PC (using PC Ditto, as someone reminded me today) to run a PC program that emulated an IBM 3278 terminal.

It was painfully slow, but it allowed me to read out the byte sequences for the terminal's function keys across a null modem cable to an Atari 800XL.

Those codes I then plugged into a terminal program that ran natively on the 520ST (not slowly) so I could dial in from home to my university's IBM 3081 mainframe to complete my programming assignments in FORTRAN/77.

Kids today will never know the hoops we jumped through...

VCF SE and VCF SW this weekend! June 20-22

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://vcfed.org/2025/06/20/vcf-se-and-vcf-sw-this-weekend-june-20-22/

I posted to my @irishmasms@pixel.infosec.exchange account pictures of my two Lambda LQD-422 dual regulated power supplies. Scored at EFM, but both have issues. Is it worth having them fixed - and who would do such repairs?

The one has the note: CT 1 works, meter bad. CH 2 to rail, Meter bad"

The other has" CH1 & CH2 volts are good. Meter Ch1 is bad, CH2 good?"

I am unfamiliar with power supplies like this; was looking for testing on my bench before I had to dig out the right wall wart and thought these may help.

EDIT: I found this that may help https://www.djerickson.com/lambda/

I posted over on @irishmasms@pixel.infosec.exchange The #mug
I received at #microcenter in #santaclara yesterday.
It is a nice mug, it will be added into my rotation.

The new store, well it is nice to see them back in #siliconValley
Not as nice as I recall their store in #denver and definitely focused on #peripherals targeting #gamer types and #influencers
The selection of #3dprinting supplies was impressive

The crowds was insane - the parking lot was full, lines for support was long, checkout was not that bad. I did not purchase anything though. The couple of items I would have considered was on sale but sold out or was more than I was willing to spend.

I would suggest going in the off hours or waiting until the newness dies down before going.

Some nice #keyboards albeit not all of them are a #MechanicalKeyboard at #VCFe (Vintage Computer Festival Europa) in #Munich this weekend.

München? Wenn dir dieses Schild begegnet, fahr nicht einfach vorbei. Da lang geht´s ins Vintage Computer Paradies! VCFe this weekend!

Also: abbiegen, Vorfahrt gewähren, und dann straight zurück in die Zukunft, äh, Vergangenheit!

Along with @tubetime 's thread this morning, here are some other pictures from #EFM aka #electronicsFleaMarket

Not as good as last month, but a couple of finds.

Talking with the folks in the local #vintage / #retrocomputing community, they clued me in that the #ThinkPad #RAID is a steaming pile of 💩 and not worth the trouble.

🤷 Oh well. Thanks for cluing me in

So I swapped out the two testing #NVMe drives I was using and reinstalled the original sticks - to have #windoz10 demanding for the #bitlocker recovery key. 🤦‍♂️

Well, time to wipe & install #windoz11 then.

Install went fine, only 4 rando #drivers to find for all #devices to be recognized and working.

Using my #CTT scripts to install the majority of applications, then to remove the #spyware #bloatware and other garbage #micro$oft added to #windows11

Then migrate my #data from my other ThinkPad. Welcome to my #sunday #funday

Ok, I spent yesterday afternoon trying to get #RAID configured on my #lenovo #ThinkPad #P70 - to no success.

I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyCC1NGe8a8&t=36s of the similar #p50 and configuring #RAID which shows the #BIOS interface but my P70's only show the "non-raid physical discs" I do not have an option for RAID volumes. Note I have upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version on lenovo's web site. Any thoughts?

I have attached 2 #screenshots of what the BIOS displays - I'm trying to configure the RAID on the two 512GB #NVMe sticks.

I scored 2 #Thinkpad #X260 laptops at #EFM #electronicsfleamarket in March with a handful of batteries for really cheap.
a i7 2.6Ghz and an i5 2.4Ghz

The i7 is immaculate, and is running great.
The i5 has some issues. Opening it up it was missing the SSD and SODIMM RAM, and I noted some corrosion on the aluminum frame around the SSD slot.

Getting it to moot up, there is this really weird spotting and "worms" with the #LCD that is really distracting. Not sure how this happened - and would love any insights as to the what & why this happened.
I suspect just easier to swap out the 12.5" 1366x768 for something with better resolution?

I did order two 32 GB DDR4 2666 SODIMMs from #aliexpress - the unofficial max #RAM for these X260's - and they work great. Both the i7 & the i5 detect the SODIMMs in the BIOS and in Win11. I initially had some spare 16GB SODIMMs in them, but why not max out the RAM when most apps and browsers are memory hogs lately?

Some adventures installing @openwrt@lemdro.id
@openwrt@lemmy.world on a #Google #WiFi "puck" (AC-1304)

If you follow the directions between the links: https://openwrt.org/toh/google/wifi
and the updated details in this thread
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/finally-installed-openwrt-on-my-google-wifi-ac-1304/183541/2
you can get #OpenWRT installed on those #Google #Wifi #pucks (AC-1304).

It is a bit of a challenge, since you are flying blind based on the light colors and blinking of the puck; along with the typical poor documentation of open source projects (as typical, written as someone is well familiar with the topic and process, rather than written in a #KISS for the #n00b).

Once installed, you can configure as #repeaters following this tutorial
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/relay_configuration
and the video at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bfmx5NjIWLQ.
