If you want to test some old DRAM, I made a tester that does everything common in the DIP16 socket. The real hard part is the power supplies and remembering what each of the jumpers do. wp.me/pyBbS-YK

I went through some effort to repair the screen on a broken transistor tester and went down the rabbit hole of finding the original project, modifying the code, and updating it to have features beyond the original cheap one wp.me/pyBbS-V8 wp.me/pyBbS-Wv

Two posts separated by 7 years, one hacking the billy bass and one putting it to use. It got it out of the parts bin and onto a shelf which is an improvement: wp.me/pyBbS-2g wp.me/pyBbS-WJ

Today I have some old s100 stuff. First is building a system from scraps, second is modding the ithica cpu board for a more modern ROM wp.me/pyBbS-Xz wp.me/pyBbS-Z4

I did some reverse engineering of a vtech whiz kid computer. These days the schematics would be in kicad, but they're all there along with a clever way to configure the ROM carts wp.me/pyBbS-Zq

This is what it takes to add neo geo compatibility to your standard JAMMA harness (cheapie from ebay) wp.me/pyBbS-13e

Here's an old one that involves some reverse engineering to create a real neo geo cart using repro shells and salvage boards. wp.me/pyBbS-12L

What do you do if you can't get a pink Konami Justifier? Build one! I also just set up a ko-fi, linked from my blog if anyone feels like contributing so I can do more cool hacks wp.me/pyBbS-13w

Last bout of posts about the Eagle, this is what I managed before I sold the thing. I'm particularly proud of the diagnostic box that decodes the signals using only logic chips. wp.me/pyBbS-L1 wp.me/pyBbS-UL wp.me/pyBbS-UY wp.me/pyBbS-14b

Just got back from a business trip, now I can resume promoting my old posts. This isn't the last batch of AMC Eagle projects, but it's getting there. wp.me/pyBbS-UG wp.me/pyBbS-Sm wp.me/pyBbS-GH wp.me/pyBbS-Wn

more electrical and lighting stuff from my ole Eagle wp.me/pyBbS-K2 wp.me/pyBbS-Ko wp.me/pyBbS-KM wp.me/pyBbS-Kn

More Eagle stuff, some repair to bulbs and modification to LEDs wp.me/pyBbS-J8 wp.me/pyBbS-IJ wp.me/pyBbS-Jm wp.me/pyBbS-JE

next batch of mods to the AMC Eagle (has since been sold though) wp.me/pyBbS-G3 wp.me/pyBbS-GM wp.me/pyBbS-HP wp.me/pyBbS-HC

Continuing with the AMC Eagle, I have a few more small things I did almost as soon as I got the car wp.me/pyBbS-D7 wp.me/pyBbS-Dm wp.me/pyBbS-Dx wp.me/pyBbS-Dv

Here's phase 1 of me getting an AMC eagle and documenting some things I did to it. wp.me/pyBbS-AB wp.me/pyBbS-BC wp.me/pyBbS-C0 wp.me/pyBbS-CO

My mousebites adapter got picked up by @adafruit blog.adafruit.com/2024/05/06…

We were out for the first run of the year today in Royal Oak MI with the Great Lakes Live Steamers. Weather permitting we'll be doing it again tomorrow at Starr Jaycee Park. greatlakeslivesteamers.org/

I just saw a video on durable east german glassware that failed in the west because of capitalism's planned obsolescence. I think it could work these days because the current corporate grift is short term profits at the expense of long term profitability: youtube.com/watch?v=vEvBpjCO…

Working on this arduino controlled tv tuner to use old hardware on monitors that don't have a tuner. Not done yet, but the hardware should be alright as designed wp.me/pyBbS-1p7
