Happy to have played a small part in GutBomb's latest awesome video. Who doesn't love ridiculously expensive old stuff?

I have many things to say but getting them out coherently is the challenge

BARCODES.

No one gives em a second thought anymore. Yet they were once cutting edge tech! Heck, computer magazines even had whole sections dedicated to UPC scanning & software. So I finally got a 1994 PC barcode reader kit and used it with some POS applications! ...and Duke 3D

Duh.

@sovanjedi.bsky.social how much do I have to pay you for a concept screenshot of an Apothecary Diaries Lucasarts point-n-click game

Needed to repost it because of a typo, really wish Bsky didn't repeat Twitter's flaw of "not allowing edits"

YouTube video by Userlandia My Quest for IBM PS/2 Tower 5.25" Drive Bezels

A new video is live! I've been searching for optical drive bezels for my IBM PS/2 Model 80, but finding a genuine IBM bezel is nearly impossible. Can 3D printing fill the hole in this PC's heart? Plus, check out all the vintage bezel designs I found during my research www.youtube.com/watch?v=phpU...

The new Dan da Dan OP has grown on me. Its only flaw is that it's an A+ OP that had to follow an S-tier one.

A caddy in a 1x CD-ROM drive that I "borrowed" from my external Apple CD150... but don't tell my Macs that. ;)

You may remember this model 80 from such videos as "The 386 Tower of Power" and "Installing OS/2"

We had the same thing with Remy a few years ago. Just sucks. But you'll always have the good times

@rsanders.bsky.social real sorry about Ryno, man

Thanks for the data point! Someone else contacted me and said their late 94 build had the Rev B board. My hunch is that the Rev B was introduced in Q3 1994 (June/July) but I don't have enough data to be fully confident in that position.

Thanks, Steve! Hopefully it'll be helpful to some folks.

Need to put in a quick reference table for all the IIe display mode quirks

How Much Video Memory Does A Mac Color Classic II Have, Anyway? — Userlandia Have Apple's spec pages and service manual for the Color Classic II been wrong about how much VRAM is on its logic board? Let's find out!

Apple's official spec sheet say the Color Classic II has 256K of onboard VRAM. They also say the LC 550, which is supposed to use the same logic board, has 512K. How can that be? Has the knowledge base spec sheet been wrong all these years? Let's find out together.

This sidebar content that's going into today's blog post is almost as long as the main post itself. I should probably split it into two posts... but eh. I was up till 2 AM last night writing it and it's scheduled to go live this afternoon!

YouTube video by Chuck Mangione - Topic Feels So Good

RIP Chuck Mangione, damn fine musician and guest voice on King of the Hill so frequently he was to it what Phil Hartman was to the first decade of The Simpsons. youtu.be/FExBwfQHXlE

I go through phases where I want to hear weird covers of songs I know very well

You know that VRAM thing I was talking about? It's now a blog post! It's up on Patreon for early access subscribers since, well, I haven't been good about posting stuff lately. So if you're a paid subscriber you can read this a few days before the public!
