This will get a much longer writeup but I've been fixing up a broken PXL-2000 that records video to cassette tape. RF output didn't work so I performed a composite video mod. Then the lens assembly was wonky so I modified that. Soon I'll add some RCA connectors and clean heads.

Got some VictorMaxx StuntMaster #VR headsets from the '90s and they're fairly easy to hook up to power, composite video, and audio when you don't have original cables. They are definitely just cheap HMDs, but they have novelty.

Upgraded my #N64 with an #RGB mod and a multi-region mod. I learned that I am much better at through-hole soldering than surface, but everything seems secure (except those kynar leads that I later removed) and in working order. The video looks excellent through an OSSC!

Thought I shared this already, but I have assembled a collection of awesome GDR/Soviet #z80 clones to use in my #rc2014

An interview I did with R.U. Sirius a few years back was linked to from HN and upon further investigation I found this was because someone posted The Guy I Almost Was (1998). It's a great comic and worth a read (or reread) if you've never seen it, http://www.electricsheepcomix.com/almostguy/

It took me three years of off-and-on assembly and troubleshooting but today my RC2014 boots! #RC2014 #Z80 #Retrocompting

Got an awesome multimeter with a nixie tube display. Appears it was a heath kit that Devry students would assemble as part of a course back in the '70s.

Running #collapseos on a Sega Genesis. Took a while to figure out how to build it, but it works!

After my oscilloscope popped last week, I got this old-timer. Apparently it is a rebranded heathkit model.

A few weeks ago I ran ethernet and mounted a new UniFi AP in the utility closet and it has been a nice, stable piece of kit.

Replacing my iPod's logic board. The only original components left are the case, display, and click wheel at this point.

My Raspberry Pi PBX now runs through 10base5 thicknet because why not?

I wrote a guide to getting your terminal or vintage computer online with a '90s Lantronix device, https://famicoman.com/2020/08/22/get-your-vintage-computer-online-with-a-lantronix-uds10/

I wrote a new thing: Connect a Wyse Terminal to a Raspberry Pi - https://famicoman.com/2020/08/03/connect-a-wyse-terminal-to-a-raspberry-pi/

More #ferments #homebrewing including some beer and koji steak, which is beef inoculated with koji mold. (2/2)

I've been doing some #fermentation #pickling and other related stuff over quarantine. Here are some of my results: Cucumber pickles, sourdough starter, chipotle hot sauce, sauerkraut... (1/2)
