Reliving retro computer tech that got us to where we are today! Repair, restore & explore (mostly) vintage computers along with BBSes8bitboyz.com New Mexico, USAJoined February 2020
Sunday & Monday I made more progress on my #RadioShack RSPOS inspired inventory program. Still have a long way to go but item series and item inventory is now fully working and storing, sorting and cataloging items!!
In between doing weekend yard & house ToDo's I got the 80 column set with the Tandy 1000 TL/2 terminal font. The TL/2's were the point of sale terminals at most every #RadioShack front sales counter, so trying to get this program as close as I can.
This weekend is another random project getting underway.
Started playing around w/concept & little bit of early development on my personal inventory program, it will do more than just keep track of items. All the while paying tribute to my #RadioShack days w/RSPOS style!
Looking to see if anyone has a solid #MSDOS driver fix for using a Sound Blaster Live! (CT4830) on a MS-DOS only machine?
So far the various options I have tried work with the Sound Blaster utilities to test the card, but real software does not see the card and/or locks the PC.
The workbench is over flowing with projects, yet I feel an urge to just break away from all those & focus on this #Gateway E-4200. It's loaded with 328meg RAM, #Diamond S3 & #VooDoo2 graphics & a #Pentium II 400! I feel it needs a deep clean & proper rebuild for MS-DOS gaming!
Happiness is when your at a client to fix their printer issue & you call one of your daughters & ask her to come give the printer a complete maintenance service. Gives business to my kid taking away from the over priced company that had the client stuck w/crappy contract.
A little late to the party but I finally started playing with Legend of Grimrock. What a great experience, old school RPG like Dungeon Master I & II but in a modern gaming environment! Before I knew it 2+ hours fly by last night.
#RETROGAMING#RPG
Happy #FloppyFriday!
This lot of 5 Disk ][s was a literal steal, I paid extra on shipping & got what I expected, a big box w/heavy metal drives rattling & bouncing around in it!🤬 Will test them this weekend, at least they look ok. These were built to last unlike todays...

Last night the teenager decided to take a gander at the Nov 1984 Compute!'s Gazette magazine on our way home. She enjoyed it and even knew who the editor was talking about when mentioning the Amiga debut at the 1984 CES along with Jack Tramiel.
Proper reading material while waiting on the girls ballet and piano classes for the next few hours this evening. I shall stand out among the moms on their phones! 😂😂
