Time to post some more retro stuff, a few more interesting odds and ends plus some of my more ‘normal’ European / NA computers. As always I’ll add everything under here as unlisted, so follow the 🧵
The almighty Amstrad CPC 6128, sitting on top is the 512k expansion - not really usable for a whole bunch of stuff but fun. Not pictured something like 3 464s and another 6128 #retrocomputing
The spectrum collection, a +3, 128k toastrack and a 48k rubberkey. To the right is an interface 2 with @quazarsamcoupe wonderful flash cart. Not pictured, a 48k+, several broken rubber keys and a +2B #retrocomputing
Top shelf is an Atari 800XL, it’s got a n SDrive Max and modern PSU. Fun Fact: the 800XL was actually the first computer I owned - my family got it on hire purchase from Rumbelows - except it was DOA so my first ACTUAL computer was a second hand Sinclair Spectrum 48k #retrocomputing
Back to the main units - so expect terrible lighting. It’s a Commodore 64C. I’ve also got a Breadbin, but it’s currently suffering from some kind of short which blows the fuse when it’s turned on, another thing I’m trying to fix. #retrocomputing
It’s a Commodore A500 - yes it says Plus on the case, but it isn’t. This also has a Pi in it and the GoTek screen and controller is on top #retrocomputing
A Commodore 128. It had been in the wars, the PSU needed repairing and it can’t use tape decks or disk drives, something I’m slowly working through the schematic trying to fix #retrocomputing
Back to #retrogaming - here’s Arkanoid for the Nintendo Famicom with the special controller
@jonn_blanchard oh wow!!!! I’d love to try that controller 👌 not one I’ve tried before.
