Who will be joining us @computermuseum #Cambridge next month for the #retrogaming edition of the #retrofest 25? 16th / 16th November 25 Tickets: computinghistory.org.uk/det/74558/Retr…

Our #Acorn #RISCPC #RaspberryPi #retro refit rebuild series continues.. with part 4, this time working out how original peripherals are going to work in a modern #USB world??? youtu.be/pY1atxNNmBk

New and very interesting #Arduino announced today (October 7th 2025) ... Ive got some #BreakingNEWS thoughts on it. #Arduino #UNOQ youtu.be/swLWejG4QSY

New video now live! I visited the recent #Telford #hamradio #Hamfest in #Shropshire, hosted by @G3ZME & had to try very hard not to buy things! youtu.be/S7Kx6B8Gil0

An upgrade to USB-C power for the #TheC64... I've been struggling with reliability unit due to the flakey Micro USB socket. This mod fits a USB-C power port to a 'The #C64' fixing the power issues and allowing the use of #RaspberryPi 4/5 PSU. youtu.be/z-SATV5Ni6I #Commodore

Random post of the day but..... @AliExpress_EN are doing an off brand #Lego BR Class 47 diesel.... that is so cool!

Well it worked today.... probably wont work tomorrow once in #miltonkeynes! Looking forward to attending @tnmoc for the #Acorn #Econet #LAN party event! tnmoc.org/events/econet-… #RISC_OS #DOSBOX #Gilder

A huge thank you to Andy Marks of @RISCOSbits for kindly donating a custom #RISC_OS 5 ROM image allowing my custom #Acorn RISCPC to use #NVMe SSD natively - meaning the machine now runs entirely solid state. This build should be at @tnmoc next month & @computermuseum in November!

Tom Williamson starting a 'little' (hoho) RiscPC restoration project. Good luck with that, @WiFiSheep youtu.be/cC5V9fj-QKk?si…

Also been doing some #SSTV #Shortwave #DX ing ... for the very first time, using a low end receiver & #Raspberrypi 400 to decode the signals... basically over the air amateur #HAMradio tv stations. All on the 20meter band around 14320KHz

A very productive #Easter! ... With thanks to Brain Martin of Night Owl #BBS my #8bit #BBCMicro went online over the weekend with some classic BBSing from Night Owl & #Telstar
