@rl_dane Yes, they are still around. Have improved a bit in terms of support. Clarity still sometimes has issues. Their new tracker for issues and for support tickets has definitely helped. But the biggest issue is that they have themselves busy running many different things.

@rl_dane I have a few other ones, but no interest to get another anytime soon.

"Refactor" number eight? I don't know, I'm losing count. At this point my fingers hurt so much it's hard to type. Everything seems to fit, but I haven't tried to hook anything up yet. More than likely I'm going to have to rebuild a few more times to get the cables plugged in. #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

Just got "home" from viewing a potential new home and it was truly amazing 🤤

2 floors with 3 bedrooms and a small guarden with a nice fence for the cats! There is even a cat door installed to the garden already :blobcatgiggle:

Even some trees are visible from inside the home!

Now it's waiting.. We where 1 of 20 people that had interest so yea

I made mom the promise if we get the home I'll celebrate my birthday this year for the first in a long time, she loves that

1 Feb we will hear more

Alles gereinigt und wieder zusammengebaut. Sieht je nach Lichteinfall doch noch ganz brauchbar aus, auch wenn das Alu über die Zeit ziemlich gelitten hat.

Testen kann ich noch nicht, muss erst noch das Netzteil prüfen und ein Kabel bauen, um überhaupt ein Bild aus dem Ding raus zu bekommen. 🤔 (Modulator war leider nicht dabei, daher kein RF oder Composite)

Well, it's not completely dead. Though I had a heart attack that I killed the 5150 because the screen was all white before realizing I knocked the CGA cable loose. With the bare PCB connected there's no keys stuck and I can type by poking the pads with my finger. #RetroComputing #VintageComputing
