The “Big” Tandy Systems with TJBChris
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 чер 2024
- This is a late-comer retrospective on my time with the Tandy 8” systems. Prior to the Model II Archive and floppy disk emulation being ubiquitous, very little software or info was available for these systems, and finding knowledge was difficult. But with the many changes in recent years, new hardware, emulators, and software are available, and a whole community has formed. The systems have become much more accessible to hobbyists. I’ll go over my time with these systems, the community, and what it’s like being new to systems that are “new” to the larger retro computing enthusiast.

Awesome info, thanks! I had no idea until VCF that there was new parts available.
great presentation!!!
Excellent talk, enjoyed it very much. I remember seeing these in the catalog, but never in the RS stores up here in Canada.
Great presentation. I’m subbed and this did not show in my feed! I’m glad I saw you in the LGR coverage because now this popped into my recommendations. BTW, that shirt!😎
Really enjoyed this talk! Thanks @TJBChris
This is an interested topic. I saw these in the catalogs, but I never saw one in reality.
Great talk.... thanks/
Chris: Part of my long term work with FujiNet aims to break through those 'silos' with a common hardware platform. :)
I think FujiNet has the best chance of breaking the silos and bringing machines togehter. 😀
Coming from the CoCo’s this will be an interesting talk as these struck me as “the big systems”
Let’s go model 16 !
Like the shirt!
Fun note: it wasn't really a Tandy Big System BBS, but The Babel BBS in Seattle was running on one of these into the early 90s at least, and I got exposure to them from one or two of the users there.
Why did I do it, hold my beer. Hahahaha.
Does it come with a large hammer?
