By the way, even though the MK-90 is quite rare, we have quite an active community around it in the CIS, for example, one developer wrote a program that can convert videos for playback on the MK-90. In fact, it turns a video into a BASIC program for recording on a cartridge, which can be inserted into the MK-90 and launched like regular software. Only this will require special equipment for flashing MK-90 cartridges, but if you are interested, there are examples of video playback from the MK-90 on UA-cam, there are some with Bad Apple, and a demo with short clips. Flappy Bird and the Dinosaur game from Google Chrome, the same one that starts when the Internet is disconnected, were also ported to the MK-90.
I used to repair these typewriters. Backing the 80's. The Technician's all used to call them Junkies. If you could type fast, you would hate this machine. It can't keep up with you the typist. Most of the adjustments are forming things. That sucks. If you were to accidently. drop it? it is over, throw way trash.
haha, i had these as a kid. they were TERRIBLE, but i think we had fun running around. I think the headset self destructed after a while (probably broke the little reflector) but i kept the gun for a long time because i thought it was cool :)
I have that exact same motherboard. First time I powered it up, the 12V tantalum blew. I replaced it with a 10uF ceramic MLCC. Next time I powered it up, the -12V tantalum blew. :) So it's better to preventatively replace both of those before powering up, it's easy and quick. The 5V caps usually don't fail on those motherboards.
Now I know that I'm going to get atomic loads of flames shot at me for stating the brands of network infrastructure products that I prefer . 1).Luxu7l 2).Netgear 3). Linksys (Cisco Systems consumer brand)
Could be used to mechanically test the drive functions as well The lack of termination resistors may be why GW was complaining about track 0, the pin wasn’t pulled up high enough and/or logic level
The internet was extremely bad that day and I had to end the stream early before making any kind of progress. You really didn't miss anything worth seeing.
Yes there are Battlezone possibilities. •Vectrex + ROM only, via James Watt's (Clockwork Robot) "Stramash Zone". Stramash Zone is a great game conversion but is still CPU bound with the processing limitations of the Vectrex •Vectrex + VecFever cart + Atari Arcade ROM. Play much better using the processing power of the VecFever cart along with the Vectrex CPU. Since it's using the Atari arcade ROM closer to the original game play. •Vectrex + PiTrex cart + Atari Arcade ROM. Plays much better using the processing power of the PiTrex cart and none of the Vectrex CPU. Since it's using the Atari arcade ROM closer to the original game play.
heck i used cura slicer and didnt do the updates on the mosfets my printer was just 3d print upgraded so much and was just load filiment and go aside from putting more painters tape on wen needed and use alcohol on it .
i had an a8 and that thing with several tweaks was able to print at a .5 mm resolution on the clearance test print i did though that was before i borked several things on it . the upgrades i did was a full surround cooler for the nozzle x and y belt tensioning prints and gantry bracing well . i also went through and made sure all the steppers were oiled up as well . after the upgrades i could have a conversation around it with out having to raise my voice
This was fun. Currently working on 'silencing' my server too, only with bequiet silent wings fans. I've add 3 more fans over the stock for the case, and am about to explicitly cool two of the six hard-disks with two more, having relocated the two drives to the 5.25 inch bays. (They all fit into the 3.5 in drive bays, but over the summer, a couple of the disks went over 40 degrees C, which while still in specification, is too warm for me! Want the drives to always be below 40.) Using a PWM generator to control the fans that are cooling the disks (rather than the mobo) - at the moment just the two fans bolted to the hard-disks, but will migrate the 3 existing stock fans (which are noisy, and not PWM) over to my PWM system when I've bought three more bequiet fans. Bodging it hard, could really do with a 3D printer and the time to figure all out. Impressed with the designing in python.
I know late to the party, but if you dont put some blanks or drives in the open slots, you will not get an accurate noise or temp floor. Deltas on sound/temp change might be close but might also be way off. I noticed this with R730XDs with open drive slots drive temps climb and cpu temps drop.
A lot of old BBS Door games, simply filtered out *ALL* control chars (EG: Control-C) You could have a small batch script that just keeps re starting the game
I think the best save formatting would be something like (game-)platform-userid, it leaves enough options for future expansion, but I don't know if usernumbers are too long for DOS
The saves are a feature of zork directly. Since this is real hardware I'm not making savestates or anything else that would be interchangeable with other games or platforms.
Shelby if the thing you're tagging already has a UPC / barcode, why go to the trouble of adding a second tag? Take advantage of the barcode which is already there?
Ridiculous they didn't have a 555 chip on it, think of all the extra possibilities that would have added! I always wanted a kit like that, but was given a chemistry set instead :(
using melamine sponges wet just gives you a very good sponge! I never use them dry unless you want an abrasive but when wet it does a great job cleaning a lot of stuff

That'd be an awesome setup.
The weird power supply cable (22:30) goes into the back of the PSU block in the arm, and then plugs into the UPS output.
So is that why it's cheap???
Just test on the desk🙂
Have a Core 2 Duo Dell laptop even thicker [and hevier!]
You hired the Swedish Chef!!!
Miss the live comments ;-)
if you resize the no machine window does the video issue resolve itself?

I used to manage a UC560 at work... Let me know if I can be of assistance....
what do you use the xserves for
one used to be his main rendering server
MORE UA-cam TELECOM TIME!

I think the weird wavy thing might be low quality composite cable
Common pinouts, how funny! That you could read across the room, I think you need a bigger boat for that.
See if there's any windows updates for the windows update project
Adafruit has up cycled 3.5 drives on their shop if you need one.
Silliest thing suggestion, could you put a brief blurb on the description on these as coming in blind can be a bit daunting
Hello! Could not catch the streams, why is the pt1 of stream unlisted?
The internet was extremely bad that day and I had to end the stream early before making any kind of progress. You really didn't miss anything worth seeing.
Loved seeing the Simon repairs. I used to have a Pocket Simon.
End of line....

Nice work!
Typical Noctua fans will not move enough air for a 2U server. Quiet yes.
RIP fun with Zork.

UTF-8 is a superset of 7-bit ASCII, so it makes sense that it'd work up until people started using higher unicode characters.

Watching the chat people attempting to play Zork, is basically akin to a room full of monkeys attempting to reproduce hamlet with typewriters.

In developer menu on android phones you can usually set the screen to be always on while charging
Good stream. Enjoyed the vacuuming!

This was a good lesson into how sensitive transistors are

Hello I'm new have you heard of eXoDOS 6.0 it has 7000 DOS games that can run on modern computera
Great memories.

No way! My dad has the same kit!
