The F256 Jr. "the 2nd" can be pre-purchased for an intro price of $175 USD in pico-ITX form factor - it is a 65816 based retro computer packed to the GILLS with features, competing in the same 8/16 bit space as the X-16 and others.

I've finished building BOM for #X65

It turns out that the whole machine is $77.55 in current parts.

Way below budgeted $99.99.
We are on a good track. 🎉

Here’s the first engineering prototype of Pilet 5! It’s coming together nicely, but I’m still testing and making some tweaks. Next up, I need to work on coding the controllers. #raspberrypi #cyberdeck #console #linux #portable #computer #kde

Full schematic and BOM for #X65 development board done.
Here's a peek of the unrouted board with a quick'n'dirty parts placement.

I gave the latest updates for the FujiNet project as part of the FujiNet State of the Union 2024 talk at VCF SouthWest.

This is an update to the talks that I gave at VCF SoCal, and VCF East, and shows the insane development pace of the project.

Highlights include talking about the generic bus interface under development, fujinet-lib, and more.

Bring-ups mentioned, Apple2, Mac 68K, TRS-80 Color Computer, Atari 2600, and more!

Time for a new #retrocomputing #blog #post !

NOT ALL 8-BIT COMPUTERS ARE OLD
https://retrofun.pl/2024/04/08/not-all-8-bit-computers-are-old/

You definitely heard of remakes of C64 and the Spectrum Next, but have you heard of Zeal and <clickbait skills="low">the 8 others?</clickbait>

Enjoy!

The dozens of posts and private messages that have come in since I posted my video (https://youtu.be/6xbtmgalaEQ) about serial gifter
@gwssrox have been heartbreaking to hear. 🧵

(Please boost this thread to spread awareness?)

I'm proud to announce that a Wesnoth has turned 20 years old! Starting with version 0.1 tagged on June 18th 2003, Wesnoth has grown with the help of hundreds of volunteers continually improving all aspects of the game. And while admittedly Wesnoth is no longer at the peak of its popularity, there are still many developers, translators, add-on authors, moderators, and players helping to keep Wesnoth going strong. Thank you everyone for all your work, and here's to another 20 years of Wesnoth!
