What a beauty the #KneisnerM100 has become. My daily work would be called "case modding" nowadays ;) It literally appears in a completely different light now ;) Tomorrow I'll be working on the expansion box, so after a year and a half, I can tick off this exciting project.
If any of you are coming to the HNF in Paderborn in October: The current plan is to bring it to the RCT at 11th & 12th of October 2025.

Additional news about the #IMSAI8080 clone. Boot from HDD is the past and done. But booting from A: with GOTEK FlashFloppy as 5" ~800k is the next step of evolution. I also connected the original #TVI912C terminal for best compatibility.
On Saturday I'll look for a bigger compatible Winchester drive. Maybe there is something in stock to pimp it up a bit.

Lilbits: A new PC with an old processor, ARM’s upscaling tech, Snapdragon X benchmarks, and another Rabbit R1 security issue

The Zilog Z80 microprocessor is an 8-bit chip that was first released in the 1970s and used in a variety of classic computers and game consoles including the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, TRS-80, and Sega Master System. While its features are very dated by 2024 standards, the chip was in production for five decades and was only discontinued earlier this […]

My good deed of the day. The donated #RadioShack #TRS80 is cleaned very careful, cabeled and back to life now. After 30 years inside a dark moving cardbox.

This is f***ing awesome. Prodatron shows a first preview of SymCalc, a spreadsheet application for his .

It will support the Sylk format so data could be exchanged with or Calc.

Lilbits: Farewell to the Zilog Z80, hello to the next Chromecast (maybe)

The Zilog Z80 is an 8-bit microprocessor that first hit the market in the 1970s. It was the beating heart of classic computers like the Sinclair ZX Spectrum and the TRS-80, as well as game consoles like the Sega Master System.
And it’s been in production pretty much non-stop for decades. But its time is coming to an end in a few months. […]

The Zilog Z80 microprocessor is discontinued... nearly 5 decades after launch. The chip powered classic computers and game consoles like the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, TRS-80, and Sega Master System, as well as the TI-83 graphing calculator. buff.ly/3UsmFrd #ZilogZ80 #chips #Zilog

Teknologiaa tulee ja menee. Mutta jotain pysyvää on maailmassa ollut... tähän asti.

Ikonisen 8-bittisen Zilog Z80 -prosessorin valmistus loppuu tänä kesänä, 48 vuoden jälkeen.

Z80-suoritinta käyttävien laitteiden määrä on täysin mahdoton edes arvioida, mutta se oli suorittimena mm. Sinclairin tietokoneissa, MSX:ssä, Nintendon Game Boyssa, Segan Master Systemissä, Amstradin kotitietokoneissa, ... Ja tällä vuosituhannella mm. Texas Instrumentsin tieteellisissä laskimissa.

Now you can play Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on a TI-84 Plus CE graphing calcultor

A basic calculator is a tool for quickly performing quick arithmetic functions. But graphing calculators are basically programmable computers. While they’re designed as math aids for students, engineers, and others… hackers have been porting games like DOOM to run on graphing calculators for decades.
Now someone has ported a full Sonic […]

Finished the #Sinclair #ZX81plus38. An explanation that I found for myself for the name, the project was started 38 years after the original? But that's just guesswork.
I actually forgot one soldering point at ground on a TTL 😆​ Now it's running rock stable and I left it at 16k RAM. I chose one of the nicer cases, actually like new, for it. It also got a keyboard with that little clicky tactile switches.
