One of my projects is coming back from the grave and it will be used in the port I am attempting.

If I can get this MCU to work with the modifications and operate the subsystem in the desired way, this will be a success.

If it was just as simple as Hello World. There will be a lot of code for just a recognizable sign of success. I'm still confident that this is the best bet.

In 2017 I resurrected a Java codebase that I wrote 1997-2000 and was last installed in 2002.

Old treasures are golden when they come to life again. And I think that is what the Retro Computing "movement" is nourishing on.

@niclas For me it's the lessons learned along the way that are golden.

@niclas Well said. Java has improved since your last work so I'm sure that was rather refreshing to see. I remember learning Java and realizing that despite all the shortcomings, Java is an amazing setup.

@AmpBenzScientist

Well, I wasn't away from Java all those years.

In fact, I am one of the folks who tried to push Java beyond breaking point. Qi4j/Polygene was "Composite Oriented Programming" (a term we came up with in ~2007) using Java.

For instance look at polygene.apache.org/java/3.0.0
