Finishing things up for #PicoIDE and it just about saturates the IDE bus in MWDMA mode 2. Iโ€™m pretty happy with this! It tests as fast as a 74x CD-rom drive which means thereโ€™s a bit more headroom in that mode but that could be the CPU on this K6-2 system being a bottleneck.

This Got Out of Hand: Building the 486 I Once Had
YouTube video by Jamie's Hack Shack This Got Out of Hand: Building the 486 I Once Had

I wanted to build one DOS PC.

I ended up with a pile of 486-era parts, a lesson in 5V vs 3.3V CPUs, and a reminder of how fast everything changed in the 90s.

This oneโ€™s less about specsโ€ฆ and more about the feeling.

Michigan's PBB contamination: 50 years later | News | University of Michigan School of Public Health | Environmental Health | Food System | Environmental Health Effects | Michigan PBB Contamination | ... This month marks 50 years since Michigan's PBB contamination incident. In 1973, toxic flame retardant was mistakenly sent to Michigan farmers as livestock feed, causing an environmental health crisis....

Caught an episode of swindled that covered this Michigan story from the 70s. Horrible. :-(
