@behindtheconsole Regarding the MX300, a few people on the VzEkC forum might have an MX300, at least there were some discussions in 2022. I hope I'm not simply proposing things you already tried...https://forum.classic-computing.de/forumThis thread might only be visible for registered users:https://forum.classic-computing.de/forum/index.php?thread/28532-siemens-nixdorf-9733-20-mx300/

Sega soll Nintendo Entwickler-Kits beschlagnahmt haben – skurrile Polizeiaktion#RetroComputing #DevKit #Fusion85 #Nintendo #sega #TimeExtention #VGPM https://sc.tarnkappe.info/b1f2fd

For the last couple of hours, I seriously tried to get this old retro laptop to run MS-DOS and/or Windows 95, but in the end I eventually had to give it up. I just couldn't find all the necessary drivers. Also, its historic 10GB HDD was still too large for that "pre-FAT32" FDISK. I had to admit, this Pentium III 866 MHz system would probably be better off running a more modern OS.So, I thought about installing Windows NT 4 or 2000, but then ... I just installed XP. And suddenly, everything just worked! As a first game, I already installed "Age of Empires II", which looks right at home in this 4:3 aspect ratio! So far, so good.Oh, crap... it's already 2:35am. Good night, everyone!#RetroComputing #MSDOS #Windows95 #DELL #90s #FloppyDisk #Oldschool #PCGaming

Let's see if we can fix the ACSI DMA interrupt problems in the Hatari Atari ST emulator...#atarist #hatari #emulation #retrocomputing

A friend of mine made a program that fixes Y2K issues on the Atari ST range, for machines without a real-time clock.There are a few interesting techniques in there, for folks curious about how to modify the behavior of ROM-based code... including some lucky accidents.https://github.com/pixelflinger/whykk(Now, fixing Y2100 or Y2107 will be a different story).#RetroComputing #Atari #AtariST #Y2K

@derSammler Nice… my two 255 Alphas still need repairs, I hope it’s also just some caps that need to be exchanged…

9 settembre 1941#accaddeoggiNasce Dennis Ritchie, genio dell’informatica noto come dmr. Dopo gli studi ad Harvard entra nei Bell Labs, dove sviluppa UNIX e, con Kernighan e Thompson, il linguaggio C. Il loro manuale diventa la Bibbia della programmazione, con il celebre “Hello, world!”. Premio Turing 1983, è considerato tra i più grandi hacker e programmatori. Morto il 12 ottobre 2011.@computer #retrocomputing #retrocomputer #retroinformatica

According to Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_Computer #IBM wanted to use the #m68k #CPU in the #IBMPC, but couldn't because the #Motorola 68000 wasn't yet ready for production.That's a pity. If the 68000 was available, #MSDOS would be 32-bit and the #640k barrier would never have existed.#retrocomputing

@hp Whow, nice... did you ever try to build a big-endian MIPS version that works with SGI's ARCS firmware – or even an Alpha oder PowerPC version for the respective ARC-derived firmware versions?

Stone Tools is a new retrocomputing blog "[...] about the productivity software of the 8/16-bit home computing era". I heartily welcome a blog that focuses on non-gaming software as it's a less covered topic in the retrocomputing space.https://stonetools.ghost.ioVia RetroComputingForum.org:https://retrocomputingforum.com/t/introduce-yourself-thread/64/281?u=amoroso#retrocomputing #blogs

@skinnylatte oooh what are you doing that you need a particular FireWire chipset?
