round-up time, and I'm going to break with tradition and post these out of order - so that I can highlight my very favourite, a look at Piotr Grzesik's M8SBC-486.

It's a motherboard for an Intel i486 or compatible. But... scratch-built. Chipset delivered via , two ISA slots, it's capable of running DOS, Windows 3.x (though mouse support is a work-in-progress), Doom... Yeah. Wow.

Between shoveling this snow weekend I have been working on #AMail. I have the ability to add a new address to an addressbook! Next will be able to select them for the TO and CC Field.

"Dialed" into the Mac Studio wirelessly across the room for some IRCing on old hardware, here as the snow falls. ❄️

I had to modify the plist and shell config scripts I'd setup on the Mac since "upgrading" to macOS 26 Tahoe to get this working without gripes in the terminal.

Apple IIe setup acting as a remote terminal to a Mac Studio elsewhere in the room

So not only does the Apple LiSA consider you a DOLT but so does the symbolics lisp machine, but with serifs #vintagecomputing #apple #lisp #retrocomputing

Me: Please use good packaging, I will gladly pay more.
Seller: newspaper burrito, one sad piece of cardboard, box two sizes too small.
Shipping method: hope and prayers.
It's a miracle it arrived in one piece!

A flat package received through mail, carrying a NetBook inside.The NetBook is inside the newspaper wrap. An extra cardboard was wrapped around the newspaper..... and the newspaper wrap around the NetBook inside.The 2010 Sony Vaio M series NetBook, which against all ods survived the transport in less than adequate transport packaging.

Acquired an old Sony Vaio M Series netbook from 2010.
Original recovery media has long vanished, though the hard disk still had the recovery partition. Used it to create recovery DVDs, and then .ISO files, now readily available on
archive.org/details/sony_vaio_

Will eventually provide a partition image, too!

The '4' character in the C64 ROM looks ridiculous.

Come at me.
