I discovered recently that the 800k and 1.44MB macintosh drives with electronic disk ejection shipped with a tiny little gear that fails over time due to a baffling design decision by Apple. The plastic they chose crumbles into pieces as it ages. Thankfully, there is a guy on Ebay who sells custom printed new ones.

Some of my original 3D software for Amiga. I’m going to start with Sculpt3d of “The Juggler” fame and go from there. Note: that Fonts jewel case actually holds a floppy disk inside.

Cinema4D will go on my beefed up A3000.

Linux on a Commodore 64
?!?!?!?

"The screenshots took VICE a couple hours in 'warp mode' to generate. So, as is, a real C64 should be able to boot Linux within a week or so."

I laugh - nay, I scoff - at your PDF manual.

(Oof! My back!)

I have a thing for blue operating systems. That includes the C64, of course.

(Yes, I want it. No, it's not currently for sale.)

It’s baaaaaack (with a primo repro sticker I applied that looks sweeeeet!) Those badass ID# soft-swap buttons used to be holes.

The RAMlink turns the C64/128 into something magical.

16MB RAM disk! For programs measured in blocks and bytes…the gluttony

Can we all just sit here and gaze upon this mastery by Rick Parks in 16 colors? No scanning, done by hand in Deluxe Paint on an Amiga. It's almost photographic in its perfection.

Rick worked at Westwood Studios and worked on Eye of the Beholder I & 2, Dune 2, Kyrandia and other classics.

Rick died in 1996. His incredible creativity lives on.

Reminder: the original Amiga computer, like the one seen here, is from 1985. Let that sink in a little.

Some cool images I found today

These were made on Amiga computers back in the day by various artists.

I’ll never forget the heart exploding and brain sparkling feeling I had when I brought this home for the first time way back when.

Hard to even compare, except maybe getting the keys to my first car.

Speaking of music, if you spent any time on a C64 growing up, you know that Rob Hubbard was the undisputed king of SID chip music. He made that thing make sounds from another world, his melodies were memorable, he is the best.

Anyway I just recently discovered there are nine excellent albums of his music out there! Here’s one: https://songwhip.com/robhubbard/commodore-64-sid-anthology-vol-2
