I keep trying to tell people about #FujiNet.
That it is a WiFi adapter for your favorite #Atari8bit, #Apple2, #ColecoAdam, #TRS80CoCo, #Commodore, #Atari2600, #AtariLynx, and #MSDOS machines, with more to come.
But word isn't getting out.
Can u help?

A selection of retro computers being prepared for a retro computer festival in Cambridge.
Getting ready for the Cambridge Retro Computer Festival. Why is it that machines that have recently been working fine suddenly get stage fright. Only 2 of the machines in the photo are working.

The Texas Instruments TI-99/4a never looked so good paired up with an SGI monitor. Pity about the world's worst joysticks. This 99 is extra special as it has a 3 state overclock ramping up the speed to a blistering 4Mhz!

A photo of a very large lizard laying like lizards do in the sun on sand and leaves, but it has a big old CRT on its head. It's a lace monitor, a type of monitor lizard, with a monitor on the lizard.

08.09.2025 19:16 โ ๐ 9 ๐ 2 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0I painted the keyboard as it had a green tinge tonit and hadn't been removed by Retrobrite. Pumicing each individual key removed the discoloration and a few layers of skin on my fingers.
07.09.2025 18:54 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Definitely stealing your idea of the underside lighting. I was going to change the original LED for a blue one but may keep it and put red LEDs instead.
07.09.2025 18:43 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I originally painted the keyboard the same colour as the case. Unfortunately the key legends reacted with the paint I used so I had to remove the new paint and the lettering.
07.09.2025 18:40 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0My case was already painted before I got it and really needed a dip before attempting the amputation. It's all a learning curve for the next one.
