Facts. Designing sounds in an important step in understanding your gear, but the presets are there because they are well tuned. I love making my own sounds on my Novation Peak especially, but I have bought a few packs for some really great ambient stuff.

Loved it. Seemed like so many eras of animation were represented. Farmer Jim forever.

I did a similar thing except I standardized on a VGA connector instead of DIN. Helps for doing things like splitting the signal to multiple displays. Still can't beat a 1084 for benchtop repair!

Now that you mention it I have an Atari Portfolio with something called DIP DOS 2.11 in ROM.

Got this IBM PS/1 all fixed up. Amazingly the 30MB hard drive still works great. I love the idea of having DOS in ROM, wonder why that didn't stick around longer in PCs. Anyone remember this game? Subjecting my daughter to all the classics.

Today's extremely important 3D print: a tiny adapter to let me use the original blue eject button from a dead IBM floppy on a much new floppy drive.

I learned BASIC on this thing! It came with a proper manual.

One of my favourite extron units is the 440 RGB interface when used for sync processing. It autodetects composite or separate sync on the front and then outputs both types simultaneously on the back.

Mine ignores my wife, or makes up excuses. "Netflix isn't supported on Android TV" like is it time traveling?
